    Picked up on sale after seeing patches had been released.
    I love interesting game play mechanics and this game nails it! The Analogue stick being used to hit the ball is brilliant and is complemented by a lot of depth in game play.

    For a sim golf, this is the first one I've gotten since the Wii, and easily the best. I typically head more towards Mario Golf, Golf Story, Wii Sports Golf, and True Swing Golf, but this has me engaged. The lowest difficulty doesn't require a college degree to play, and there are increasing difficulties that make it have depth as your skill increases.
    Notably - even w/patches I have had black textures at times, the game is NOT bug free. If you have other platforms to play it on, you'll probably be glad to get it elsewhere, unless you want to play it on the go (then Switch is the CLEAR answer).
    If you like playing golf video games PGA Tour is essential. I'm super happy I got it.    … Expand

    There are definitely pros & cons about this game. Pros- The game does look good- even on the Switch. It’s not top-notch 4k, but the graphics are pretty good. There are a lot of good courses to choose from. The career mode is pretty good. It presents a pretty wide variety of tournaments and courses. There are rivalries & sponsor contracts to pursue.

There are a lot of good courses to choose from. The career mode is pretty good. It presents a pretty wide variety of tournaments and courses. There are rivalries & sponsor contracts to pursue. There’s also pretty good player customization. You can create just about any type of player & clothing, etc. You can also create your own courses. This is a bit challenging on the Switch- and I don’t know if it’s better on other machines. Cons- The number 1 con for me is that you have to have an internet connection to play. I recently tried playing on an airplane and it would not let me play the game. This is very limiting and annoying. The number 2 con is that when you hit it in the fairway rough they only allow you to use a 5 iron in terms of hitting for distance. This is not realistic at all for PGA players who could easily hit woods from the rough for much greater distances. The 3rd con is that every once in a while it will randomly cause you to shank it short- and often into the water. I’m hitting exactly like I do all of the time- but it just randomly shanks it on me. Overall though, I like the game and have fun playing it. It’s not perfect, but it’s better than say Mario Golf Super Rush. This is the first golf game I’ve played in probably 10 years and I would recommend it as long as you are aware of some of the cons- especially having to have an internet connection to play.… Expand

    I am thoroughly enjoying this game. 41yrs old and been looking for a golf game for YEARS!! I gave up after EA's Tiger Woods some many years ago. Couldn't get past the fact that you could put ungodly amounts of spin on the ball after making contacting. Regardless, this game strikes a fine balance between realism and fun.

Only thing I think I miss is the crowd noise and the golf claps or ooh's and aah's. Bottom line, it's very enjoyable. I quit playing Ori and the Will of the Wisps to play this!… Expand

    PGA Tour 2K21 is the best golf sim on Switch. There’s obvious room for improvement, but at its core it’s a fine game of golf. [Issue #2, p.65]

    Fun but flawed. Brilliant but bugged. Delightful yet disappointing. The list of opposing adjectives that can be used to describe PGA 2K21 is a long one. In short, it’s well worth a purchase if you can overlook the current performance issues.

    PGA Tour 2K21 is the perfect option for those who want to enjoy real golf on Nintendo Switch. Its MyPLAYER mode and its control adapted to all types of players will make you spend hours playing this sport. However, its technical section doesn't stand out on Nintendo Switch.
