Hi all. I'm looking for a good game I can play on an iPad that will help me think about course management.mhave tried a few but most seem to be simply a game, rather than anything that might help train. Currently trying WGT but feel there must be better out there. Thanks.

No video game can really help much with course management or any aspect of golf for that matter. It is just way too easy compared to actual golf, no reason to not shoot at every pin and make 18 birdies.

I'm looking for a decent golf game to help me develop my course management skills. I have tried a few but they seem to be more about pure entertainment and selling you new clubs, just like the real thing.

The best I've found so far is WGT which works well on an iPad. Does anyone else have any recommendations?

I like how he changed the title to computer game instead of ipad game ;)

Go buy the book "Lowest Score Wins". Just it's stuff on game management is worth the price of the book. That is only 1/3rd of the book. :)

I'll second LSW, but for entertainment value if you can find a copy of Tiger Woods 2013 for PC get it. Create a golfer with approximately distance levels and crank back the other skill levels and don't take the skill level ups. Play the different courses with your golfer. You'll suck. Learn how to play the game first before you do this. I think the biggest problem with these games is the lack of 3D because I have trouble with the 2D representation of the course and figuring out exactly where the ball is going to go whereas I don't on the golf course. Hence "Tiger Vision".

Still when you play in real life you still have to be able to hit the ball consistently enough to get it there.

      I imagine there might be a fine, that's what the PGA Tour does for bad behavior.  Not sure if the USGA has any kind of Code of Conduct that would address this.

      Looking to do a Solo Trip to Scotland ....

      By DaveP043 · Posted

      I've used this for planning, good information about courses, regions, transport, and lodging. Amazon.com  I prefer to stay in B&Bs, and have enjoyed playing many non-famous courses.  Hiring a car for many weeks is likely to be pretty expensive, but train travel is possible between regions.  I don't know about taxis for getting to courses, but that might be cheaper than hiring a car.  I certainly recommend staying in St Andrews for a while, there are 6 courses within the St Andrews Trust, and a shuttle will take you from one to the other, not including the Castle Course.  Beyond that, there are a dozen or more good courses within an hours drive, including Carnoustie and Kingsbarns and a bunch of lesser-known but fabulous courses.   Good luck, Scotland is a fabulous place!

      I am looking to do a solo trip to Scotland, maybe 3 to 4 weeks, not golf every day but see some of the country in between. Looking more for convenience of travel to courses  than any particular courses. Any help on  best location, courses, accommodations appreciated.
