I finally bought the game this weekend, and just played a few rounds for the first time. I actually like the gameplay a lot. In the Tiger Woods games, it always felt like they had to kill the game to make it difficult; this one I don't think will be like that.

I have it on X-Box One. I like it too. I like how the putting is all feel. Have you tried building a course yet?

I only played it for an hour or so, so not yet. That's probably next.

The putting is interesting. I didn't like it early on, but it's so minimalist that I've actually come to like it. The best thing about the putting so far is that it very clearly differs based on green conditions. When the greens look dried out and crusty, the greens are firm and roll quick.

Looking at this for PS4.

Is it worth the price?  Better than Rory PGA Tour?

I think I paid around $25 for an automatic download of the game, so yeah, I'd say it's worth it. The course designer can be a little frustrating but it is pretty fun building your own course and tricking it up  a bit! 

Yours in earnest, Jason.

Looks like you had a better version of this game than I did.  My leaderboards seemed to always be populated by Billy Andrade and Lance Ten Broeck.

I had the course record at Sterling Shores though, that's for certain. :P

I think I only paid $17 for the disc. The McIlroy game is like double that, but I haven't tried it so I can't really compared the two.

I've got it on XB1 and PC (the latter which I've never actually played). It's OK, and while the course designer is great, it's not what I want a golf game for. It's a bit disappointing that there's so little character customization and no player progression. I know the idea is to base the results on your ability to hit, but building up a golfer is kind of fun. Starting with a guy driving 200 and working towards a 300-yard power hitter is interesting to me.

Rory plays really well, but its create-a-golfer is kind of a mess and the course offerings are pretty shallow. I'm waiting for it to get added to EA Access, then I'll probably sign up for that ($30 for a year of access to, like, 15 games).

I downloaded the game last night and really enjoy it.  

I wonder how close I can get to creating my own local course.  That would be fun to play.

I prefer Perfect Golf (PC only, Steam) over The Golf Club. TGC looks great and has better graphics, but Perfect Golf has better ratings/reviews and is much more realistic; it's more a simulation while TGC is arcade. An other low acces golf game is World Golf Tour (wgt.com); to start it's free of payment, it's a browser game but with surprisingly nice graphics and a very big online community. You can try and if you like it you can pay for better equipment, balls etc.; some choose to do so, but it's not necessary in order to have fun and continue to play the game.

I have been waiting for the course building software for perfect golf to get released but it seems to be taking ages (I think it was about a year ago when I last checked in and it still isn't public yet).  I quite like the idea of building my home course on the sim and then trying out different approaches to holes.

Yea, it's still an early access. There already are user created courses up for download, but not sure how they created it. Since last month (latest update) the game became even better in my opinion with some new stuff. Most realistic feel I ever had in a golf game.

      I have been debating getting a launch monitor of some sort, if only so I can re-figure my shot zones (I haven't actually mapped them in years) and also to practice distance wedges at home.  I have to see if this works with either my current setup, or what my setup would be if I move it to the garage.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By Shindig · Posted

      Well, this is interesting.  I think we discovered a few months ago that I haven't been following professional golf in a while (my confusion about Scotty's footwork confirmed that), so at least as I aim to follow a bit more I'll get something new to learn with all of you.  My very quick read of Erik's summary makes me think this new Challenger series fits somewhere between Korn Ferry and the Championship (not Champions, but I know I'm going to make that mistake a few times if I'm not careful!).   My recollection is that there were already second-tier events among the PGA Tour;  the Bob Hope didn't have the same quality of field as the event at Riviera (whose current name I forget, although now that I say that, I realize the Palm Springs event hasn't been called the Bob Hope in a few years either).   With the absence of the FedEx (if I'm reading that correctly), does that mean no more FedEx Cup at all? Hopefully I'll have time later in 2026 to sit down and see what we're in for in 2027, where one of my goals already is to follow more professional golf.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By iacas · Posted

      The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.
