    Never was a big fan of this sport, but I found a new game to play better my main ones... and relax while still having fun.

    Downside, the money you make to unlock the cool stuff is too grinding

    I think this game is pretty good. It looks great, the controls are fantastic and the character customisation is top notch. The only issue I have with this game is the amount of crashes. After about three holes I'll be stuck in a loading screen!

    This is a really fun golf game.

While not as deep as 2K basketball it’s depth is comparable to the death of MLB the show. It’s an awesome game that still has room for growth. I’m happy with and really enjoying PGA 2k21 and I’m super excited to see the next iteration of this game. Expand

    This game is much improved from The Golf Club 2019. There are a wide variety of customization options to make the game as arcade-like or extremely difficult. The rough and heavy rough textures are also much better and actually look like grass compared to the blocky textures in The Golf Club. This franchise has a lot of potential for further improvement, but please bring back offline societies.

    Super fun game that is saved by the created courses section. The graphics are by no means good but the game runs smooth and is a blast to play. Career mode is sort of eh but whats really fun is playing user created courses. Solid golf game.

    For golf lovers, it is great. Especially cool for an evening game with club lovers like you. The graphics are excellent, the gameplay is decent.

    By far best golf game made for ps4. It's not tiger woods arcade style play. McIlroy golf game was not good. The golf club games were not great. This mixes the 2 and is a great game. Its tiger woods mixed with golf club games. Looks like tiger woods games but has the realism of the golf club games. You cant control spin mid shot. You need to plan your shots before swinging the club.By far best golf game made for ps4. It's not tiger woods arcade style play. McIlroy golf game was not good. The golf club games were not great.

You need to plan your shots before swinging the club. Which to me actually makes it better. Its half real and half arcade. Well done and the creations course is really well.done. If you're looking for the total arcade style playing (spin mid air, have a ball that makes your play better etc you may be dissapointed) but if you're looking for a solid real golf game, this is it. Well done 2k. You guys made a mess of nba and wwe games...you made up for that here

    Lots of clothes and clubs...I would give this game a 10 if they added celebrations like the woods games had

    All in all a good golf game. I love the fact that you customise every part of the game, from swing difficulty to course and Ai difficulty. Makes the game accessable to all types of players.

    PGA2K21 is a really, really solid golf sim
    You can tweek it to play it how you like with loads of accessibility options, difficulty sliders and control settings.
    The courses look sweet, I actually find it really relaxing watching my little white ball fly through the air to land on the nicely manicured fairway. The player characters look a tad goofy, but there are tons of customisation

    The player characters look a tad goofy, but there are tons of customisation options, including clothing, and clubs. It ticks all the right boxes.
    I would like to see some more official courses and some bigger names, but I'm a pragmatist and understand licensing costs. The same goes for sponsors, clubs and clothing; I hope they can hook Nike and Oakley next time.
    The beauty with these games as they're not annual and they take the time to polish the product.
    PGA2K21 is a really good sign of things to come, with EA jumping back in the scene I'm looking forward to the next batch of golf games.

    A great, feature packed golf game.

    There are a few bugs on PS4 (stuttering swing, inconsistent tempo, ball going straight through crowd), but this is certainly a step up from the Golf Club 2019. Bugs will be fixed with updates. Ignoring that, the game is perfect for golf lovers and nicely setup to create communities within the game. The only major complaint is that the commentators keep

    The only major complaint is that the commentators keep referring to you as “they” or “them”. Please change this HB studios. It makes no sense and it’s super annoying.

    Great game. Much needed for the PS4 generation. Fun career mode as well with tons of courses and events.

    This was provided as a ‘free’ game by having the PlayStation Plus subscription, I would never have played except for that. I don’t golf or typically watch golf but after watching some of the Masters on TV I tried this on a whim.

    I am enjoying it quite a bit, since I am a complete novice I started with low difficulty and the game provided a very enjoyable but simplistic approach. I have slowly been able to increase the difficulty as I learn the game and mechanics. The user generated courses make it such that almost course is playable even if not officially licensed.
    My main gripe is the announcer is extremely repetitive and fairly dull even by golf standards.

    Between watching the Master and this game I might even take some real lessons and get schooled, but hey getting out of the house would be a plus.

    A great golfing simulator with a brilliant core - the sport itself. Its production values and career are significantly worse, but the gameplay is just so very good that it doesn’t matter too much, plus there’s the fantastic course editor.

    The only downside to this year’s game, as with The Golf Club, are the visuals. Even knocking balls about a clifftop woodland can feel sterile. But then the game offers an easy-to-use course creator and all is forgiven. Placing accessibility on par with accuracy, this is a golf sim so realistic you can smell the freshly laundered acid-blue chinos. [Issue#180, p.72]

    PGA Tour 2K21 is a fun, enjoyable golf game that has made me into a begrudging fan. It still could use some work on the presentation front, but with underlying mechanics this good already, I'm excited for the future of the franchise.
