    The Golf Club 2 is a good game, quite deep and with many options to create and play with the community. Unfortunately, it hasn't evolved as much as you would think after 3 years, but if you enjoyed the original, this sequel won't disappoint you.

    The Golf Club 2 is a wonderful golf simulation marred by an unispired online mode and some really annoying technical issues.

    In spite of its minimalist aesthetic sense, The Golf Club 2 is an excellent compromise between a fun game and a realistic simulation. The career mode is very demanding and the golf courses editor is amazing.

    TGC2 represents my introduction to this series, as I did not play the original entry. Quite honestly I found this advantageous while writing this review, because I didn’t have any preconceived notions about the series going in. While this created some challenges for my initial onboarding into the game, I feel like it allows me perspective to judge the games merits objectively, without chalking weaknesses up to “well it’s better than the last one”. In general I feel like this is a solid budget title with a fantastic course creator and a lot of options, but it’s hard to recommend it to less hardcore fans of the sport.

    I like what The Golf Club 2 has to offer. It is a really solid representation of the sport both in terms of mechanics and the overall aesthetics. Because of the course editor, you have a plethora of options you can use to create the course of your dreams, or just play those made by other people. The possibilities are limitless. However, some technical issues still linger and the career mode could use some additional depth as The Golf Club takes some small steps in the right direction.

    The Golf Club 2 it is not a bad game, but it feels like it is developed for playing one single match at a time, rather than a long-term experience. The gameplay is still quite satisfying, whilst the new single player and multiplayer modes didn't go entirely in the right direction.

    The Golf Club 2 builds on the original's interesting blueprint and adds more social integration whilst delivering an impressive engine. The improved feedback ensures more precision and a steeper learning curve. The technical issues and server problems undermine the excellent golf on show. It's not perfect but it does improve on its predecessor and provides a sound golf simulator.

    Feels like a solid follow-up to an already promising new franchise. Unfortunately, though it attempts to correct some of the series’ deficiencies, it still fails to deliver a cohesive single player campaign.

    A decent sequel that improves upon its predecessor in virtually every department, The Golf Club 2 strikes a good drive. But while the improvements to the simulation and course editor are appreciated, there’s still work that needs to be done to the unifying Societies system, which represents a clever idea that’s far too convoluted for its own good right now. A third stroke should see this series realise its very real potential – but in fairness, this entry is in regulation and well worth buying if you’re a fan of the sport.

    Once again a developer has released a broken, mess of a game which they are now, 2 days later still working to fix. You can only play 3-4Once again a developer has released a broken, mess of a game which they are now, 2 days later still working to fix. You can only play 3-4 holes before being disconnected, there are ridiculously long loading screens when navigating the menu and during peak times you can't connect to play at all. This wouldn't be such a big issue if the offline offerings weren't so slim. You can't play any single player career unless you're online, so yeah. During the very few times you can play the actual golf there are numerous technical issues. Screen tearing, stuttering, delayed control inputs, it's just broken.

    Any good will or faith that this studio developed from the first game is quickly becoming a thing of the past. Do not support this practice of companies releasing broken games and fixing them after the fact. This is an unplayable mess.    … Full Review »

    Great golf game with superb mechanics and ball physics . The graphics although not outstanding are decent enough . As others have said fewGreat golf game with superb mechanics and ball physics . The graphics although not outstanding are decent enough . As others have said few server issues over the first two days of release but sorted now . The society aspect of the game is a superb idea and adds alot to the game as does the course builder. Talking of the course builder there are loads of community made courses already all for free so you have an endless supply of courses to play which is important and adds to the longevity of the game .… Full Review »
