    I expected The Golf Club 2 to be better than the first in every way given the new career setup and golf societies, but I was surprised the addition of the swing tempo gameplay is what gives this title a lasting structure. This, combined with the course creator, make the game indispensable for any golf fan. You'll be seeing those missed putts in your dreams and savoring every chip-in birdie.

    Ultimately The Golf Club 2 may land in the rough more than the green, but it has enough about its controls and modes to take a swing at. [Aug 2017, p.93]

    The Golf Club 2 will resonate better with experienced and patient gamers due to its difficulty, but those who stick with the game will almost certainly feel rewarded for doing so.

    The Golf Club 2 improves on the original in every way, and most importantly it plays a fantastic game of golf. It’s a shame then that there are still some technical hiccups, as they do take some of the sheen away from it, but I don’t doubt that HB Studios will continue to improve on what has clearly been a labour of love, and one which shows that sports game development isn’t solely in the realms of the biggest publishers.

    The Golf Club 2 combines a good golf simulation game with the social interaction of an actual clubhouse through the online societies with an engrossing career mode.

    Despite of the great improvement in the control system of swing and tempo that is close to perfection, the lack of depth in the Career and Societies modes can make tedious the thousands of hours that this sequel offers.

    Overall the game does feel really good. The mechanics are solid with the only issue being gauging strength. The career and societies are going to offer up some good possibilities to players along with some real extended play times. 100,000+ courses to play is slightly bonkers. That’s great for variety but it’s also a double-edged sword. While most are well optimized, there are times that during your back swing the game will stutter. I’m sure you can imagine what that does to a shot.

    The gameplay and options are on an elite level in TGC 2, but the graphics and presentation are still a step behind.

    If golf games bore you but the real sport you like, then try one without an auto pilot: try Golf Club 2.

    One of the few golf simulators available nowadays for PS4, Xbox One and PC that offers a good amount of content, great control and a very enjoyable course editor.

    The Golf Club 2 follows in the footsteps of its predecessor, providing an unrivaled golf simulation that still lacks surrounding content to keep it relevant for months to come. The new career mode leaves a lot to be desired, but few sports games can compete with how solid the on-course gameplay is within The Golf Club 2. Societies is also a welcome addition that golf-loving friends will really appreciate. The Golf Club 2 is still a ton of fun to play, but it’s clear that HB Studios needs to revamp some of the side activities heading into The Golf Club 3.

    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 »
