    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 3-4 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 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.    … Expand

    I was a player of the Golf Club originally and enjoyed it for a while until It simply became stale with it's lack of variety in terms of game features and no proper online multiplayer over p2p. I sat a few days back and thought I'll purchase number 2 because surely after all this time they have fixed the problems from the first game but how wrong I was.

    Positives - Lots of courses ,    I was a player of the Golf Club originally and enjoyed it for a while until It simply became stale with it's lack of variety in terms of game features and no proper online multiplayer over p2p.

    Positives - Lots of courses , Career Mode included in retail release , more customisation.

    Negatives - Ok so we'll start with the old problems , low FPS .... not sure what it's running at but like the first game it feels horribly optimised and runs at a very poor framerate on ps4 that's obvious to the eye. Then we have the good old stiff , laggy backswing.... unbelievably this Is exactly the same as the first game , there is nothing different the backswing still feels stiff and laggy which results in numerous shots spewing left or right due to the game simply not being accurate in the stick department. Now I am not showing how they could simply overlook this as It has been mentioned numerous times In the past but it looks like this game was simply copy and pasted in massive chunks from the first game and little tiny things added on to it. This is not a new game from scratch in any way at all and It feels like being robbed in many ways so I'll find it hard to trust HB Studios after this. To end things there is the problem of the worst shadows in a game , no idea why the shadows are as bad as they are but they are truly horrible. Try putting with shadows on the green it's truly a shambles. I honestly cant recommend this game In any way and I am a golf lover and have played every golf game released. Stay away from this until the developers listen to people. Thanks    … Expand

    I paid $20 new, it was at least a full year old. The price is key. At $20 it is a fun golf game. The only problem is that the "greens" are not realistic. They are way too difficult and not in any way a real green would play in real life. Thus, it honestly takes away from the overall game. Graphics are great!

    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.

    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]
