World Golf Tour Online Game

[rogerw]

Not sure if anyone has seen this yet or not, but I didn't see it when I searched the forum. I found this the other day and its a pretty good online game.

It's a flash game, but its much better than nearly any flash game I've seen before. Its in Beta now, so I'm wondering if it will become a pay service once it leaves beta.

I play under the same screen name, it is tough, more of a sim then Tiger Woods golf.

Its a great game.. I play it a lot when I wanted to play and it rained and just in the winter in general...

I've played the stroke play at Bethpage Black a couple times and ended up +6 both times, from the red tees. The putting is pretty hard to judge out passed 10'. I think my best put has been 15' or so to this point, although I did have a chip in from 30'.

I found the tutorials pretty invaluable if anyone is having problems figuring out the controls.

I haven't played any golf simulators in probably 10 years but this one seems pretty good, especially for an online one.

my best putt was 8 foot and ya the short-mid putts suck you have a bar from 0-30 foot and guess how hard to hit it it sucks i hit like 93% of grens but still end up at +11 at the end of the round

The game has sure come a long way since the last post.  There are now seven 18 hole courses available for stroke play (although 1 course you have to pay greens fees and is a ripoff).

Give it a try if you're looking for a realistic golf game.

A very challenging game. One of better ones all around ive seen. Been playing this over 4 years. If you love golf and gaming this maybe be bliss...sometimes. Beware!!!!! Very additive. You been fore.warned. Very good social aspect too.

I've heard this is the best online virtual golfing game out there..  I personally haven't tried it yet though - no free time!! hahah...

Anyone play this game?  I have an account that I haven't used in ~ 2yrs.  I logged on tonight to see what courses they have and was impressed with the line-up.

Haven't heard about WGT since recenlty and am sorta hooked after just a few rounds.  Great visuals...and fund to pretend you're there!!!

I mess around with it at work when bored, pretty cool.

Hi All,

Does anyone play this game at all?

I've recently downloaded it and it's surprisingly difficult (in comparison to tiger woods on the xbox/playstation), and there's a few decent courses on it like St Andrews and Celtic Manor to name a couple.

I only ask as there's a bit where you can create a club and play against each other, so it would be interesting playing against other actual golfers.

Regards,

Rob

I just started playing. I am not a fan of the constant need to buy credits on the games to get better equipment. I know this is the current trend but it is also the reason I quit playing video games. I just clicked over to amateur... I don't know how much longer I will keep playing it...

[CMartis]

Anyone in here play world golf tour? The best free online golf game I've played. If anyone knows of a better one let me know. If you play WGT my screen name is the same, CMartis.

I played it but found the putting so annoyingly difficult that I've never finished 9 consecutive holes.
