    Great 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 allGreat golf game with superb mechanics and ball physics . The graphics although not outstanding are decent enough .

    for a golf fan, this game has a lot more on offer than mcilroys pga tour. The huge difference being, you actually feel the impact of a shot. after reading reviews about the presentation, i expected the graphics to be terrible. look, they aren't next gen level, but they are passable. the main thing in a golf game for a golfer is a great swing system and this game delivers. brilliant.

    I just downloaded the game on PS4, I did not play the first version but have been a long time fan of all the Tiger Woods games and still play Rory fairly often. The first thing I noticed was the lack of instructions, like how to even play the game, what everything means etc. I am still struggling to figure all of this out.

The first thing I noticed was the lack of instructions, like how to even play the game, what everything means etc. I am still struggling to figure all of this out. I did learn that if you choose the Tour Clubs that it makes it much harder, it took me several rounds to figure this out, it would be nice if there were descriptions as to what the different menu options actually do. The chipping and putting on this game have so far been next to impossible for me to figure out, neither one to me feels "real" for what is supposed to be a simulation game. I am an avid golfer (in my real life) and when I try to swing the club in the same way that I would if I were doing a real chip the ball just goes a few inches, you have to almost do a full swing with what seems like way to much power to even get the ball halfway to the hole, putting is the same way. I don't know, maybe I am just to used to the Rory game. The driving and iron portions of the game are great! I just hope I can figure out how to upgrade my clubs, so far I have been unable to figure that out...again with the lack of instructions. The amount of courses is incredible and they look and play very nicely. There are many features I have not even explored yet as right now I am still trying to figure out how to chip and putt. (yes I did all the tutorials, but once you get in the real game things are much different). I really think once I get everything figured out I am going to love this game.… Expand

    The Hot Shots/Everybody's Golf series has been the best golfing on Sony systems for many years. Cartoony (and annoying) characters masked brilliant gameplay. Frankly, I tried various Tiger Woods incarnations through the years (PS2, WII & Ps3) and I absolutely hated the mechanics - adding spin while the ball is in midair is just wrong, and too arcadey.

    I didn't play first The Golf Club    The Hot Shots/Everybody's Golf series has been the best golfing on Sony systems for many years. Cartoony (and annoying) characters masked brilliant gameplay. Frankly, I tried various Tiger Woods incarnations through the years (PS2, WII & Ps3) and I absolutely hated the mechanics - adding spin while the ball is in midair is just wrong, and too arcadey.

    I didn't play first The Golf Club game, but I really love the second one. Swing mechanics are tied to the Right stick by default (but you can make it the L stick if you want), and getting a decent swing is fairly easy. Much like real golf, getting exactly what you want out of a shot is far from easy.

    The graphics are beautiful, the courses are awesome and the tournaments are a challenge. I don't really care that we don't get to play against "real golfers" - the game has the PGA license, but getting permission from dozens of pro golfers is probably vastly difficult. And to my mind it doesn't matter, anyway.

    The Golf Club 2 is fun - that's the bottom line - and play is fast. You can play 18 holes in 15-20 minutes, which feels just right to me.

    It's not perfect. The analog swing can be devilishly difficult to master - especially on puts - but you've got a driving range, chipping practice & a putting green to work with. And, much like in real life, knocking 10 yards off your swing is easier said than done. I wish there was a power meter that could be toggled, or which was a default at lower difficulty settings. Also - the AI will give you club selections which don't always make sense. In heavy rough where you'll get 60% power, max? You'd better pay attention to those details because the club you're given will land you well short of the target.

    But these are all small things and overall this game easily deserves 8/10.    … Expand

    This just might be the best sports simulator I have played, any category. Endless replayability through user created content and options for your look, clothes and golf bag. A good though somewhat limited solo career mode as well as online societies are a blast. The game urges you to play different courses in different manners to earn more ingame money through various course challenges.This just might be the best sports simulator I have played, any category. Endless replayability through user created content and options for your look, clothes and golf bag. A good though somewhat limited solo career mode as well as online societies are a blast. The game urges you to play different courses in different manners to earn more ingame money through various course challenges. Then to top it off there is another game in the game. A course creator that allows you to create your own golf course, with little or endless detail.… Expand

    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]
