    The Golf Club 2019 is a very good golf game, which shines in particular by its game system that is both realistic and rewarding. It does not hustle the codes, but offers an infinite renewal, thanks to its system of procedural generation in addition to the official courses of the PGA Tour. The loading times also benefit from a particular optimization and are non-existent during play, which favors concentration.

    From your first tee to your umpteenth hole, The Golf Club 2019 Featuring PGA Tour really nails that heart-in-mouth feeling of swinging your club like a pro.

    The title’s gameplay is more than just a band-aid. It's fulfilling in its own way – one which is as temperamental as the sport itself – and it’s the fundamental piece of a title whose benefits are more subtle than overt.

    The Golf Club is back with a game whose main addition is the PGA license. It still is a very good game, but it needs to provide something more meaningful than that or put it to a better use.

    Despite the arrival of the PGA license, we feel that it is still very untapped.

    The Golf Club strikes back, and this time it has the official PGA Tour licence. PGA Tour isn’t just a cosmetic feature, it adds a whole new level to the Carreer mode, making it even more interesting.

    Disclosure: I have only played around 15 18-hole rounds so far and I haven't poured more than 2 hours into the designer.

    With that out of the way, I really like this game.
    Coming from a Tiger Woods PGA Tour (and Rory's) background I found the game more true to life and absolutely more challenging.
    That is to be expected since TGC2019 is more of a simulation than EA sports golf title ever was intended to be.

    I'm just gonna list some pros and cons rather than writing a review.

    ** PROS
    - Probably the best simulation of golf on PS4
    - Course designer
    - Challenging and rewarding experience

    ** CONS
    - Graphics, well rather some of the animations are a little iffy
    - Presentation, commentary is really boring

    All in all, I am enjoying this game and I can't wait to dive into societies online and the course designer

I have neverI feel compelled to write something about this game because it hasn't gotten much exposure and it is actually a fantastic game. I have never really liked the series before but this one feels like a legitimate PGA tour game. The graphics and performance of the game are great (xbox one x) which I was worried about given the previous games. I feel like the gameplay is much improved as well. In the prior games I felt like it was very difficult to gauge shots, (especially putting) but this one feels perfect and fair. My only gripe with the game is the commentary which is fine but it would be nice to have the guys from PGA broadcasts calling the shots. This feels like a natural evolution of the Tiger Woods series and that was exactly what I have been waiting for. Full Review »

    I am only in my infancy on The Golf Club 2019 and have fortunately never owned a previous version of this series, so the initial selling priceI am only in my infancy on The Golf Club 2019 and have fortunately never owned a previous version of this series, so the initial selling price doesn't put me off as much as it will others. Overall I am very impressed with the game and expect I will find it very challenging for many months to come. If you enjoy watching or playing golf then you will enjoy what is in essence this golf simulation.

    What the previous owners of the PGA Tour license did with their games was a disgrace, making arcade golf game time after time, similar to how they treat other modern sports. Hopefully the new license can be expanded to further courses in the future but having paid the full value for the initial game I will not be spending on any future possible add ons. I will enjoy what I have. A solid golf game with endless playability.
