    PGA Tour 2K21 scratches the itch for the hardcore golf fans out there, but casual players are going to find a game that is lacking deeper options even though the game itself is beautiful. It's a good entry that hopefully is built upon in the future.

    Even those who want a deep and challenging experience will find plenty to like about PGA Tour 2K21, thanks to the in-depth career mode and expansive Course Designer. As a first effort in this rebranded series, it gets much more right than wrong and is a very enjoyable golfing experience.

    Playing on real-life courses in PGA TOUR 2K21, scoring a perfect hole in one, and hearing the crowd erupt is special. Career mode is a blast, and beating Justin Thomas (cover athlete and number one player in the world) to the FedEx Cup is great. The difficulty level of the game can be brutal, with the timing of the swing being a legitimate pain. But the options that are available allow players to progress at their own speed, which is nice. Thanks to this, a deep multiplayer experience, and endless course options from the Course Designer, PGA TOUR 2K21 is about as replayable as a golf game can get. PGA TOUR 2K21 is a very fun game, and with it, the golfing simulator is officially back.

    As the first game in this newly rebranded series, PGA Tour 2K21 feels a little bare bones in some areas while also managing to build a solid foundation for the future now that they have the PGA license behind them.

    While it may not be incredibly in-depth, PGA Tour 2K21 is a great first attempt for 2K as they get into the golf game, and the future looks incredibly bright.

    PGA Tour 2K21 is the most flexible and enjoyable golf game since EA’s Tiger Woods series was at its peak. While its career mode could have done with some spit and polish to its presentation and featured more meaningful rewards, it nonetheless serves as a solid 20-hour straightaway to what could prove to be the most thriving part of PGA Tour 2K21’s dance floor in the long term; the online societies. As far as establishing a new sports franchise goes (on the shoulders of the three Golf Club games that came before) this might not be the strongest shot off the tee, but it’s ended up in a very playable lie.

In its previous incarnation, it showed it's players all the forgiveness of a FromSoftware game. Inspite the fact that I don't actually enjoy golf games or golf On a normal basis, the game was actually fun to my surprise. I mean I don't even know how golf to play golf or what are the rules and how you'd become the g.o.a.t yet I played the game Many hours and it was absolutely a surprisingly amazing time. Just imagine that you playing something you don't have an idea about and you are enjoying and keep playing. This is enough to tell you guys how well they created this game. I can say that the single-player experience is excellent so far, despite the character creator being a little bare bones and most of the clothing and clubs being locked from the outset (requiring extensive play or real money to purchase). HB Studios has been on a roll with its golf games, and PGA Tour 2K21 appears to be another great golfing experience from the developer for the Xbox One.… Full Review »

    I've played the majority of golf games since the amiga times and play golf irl. This game captures the roller coaster of emotions of real golf like never before and to get good you have to practice. Again just like the real thing.
    The closet to it would be the previous game in the series "the golf club 2019". This updated version improves on tgc2019 in every way. Backspin is now possible, the presentation has been updated and the course designer has been updated so users creations are unbelievable. Real life creations look fantastic now.
    Constant user courses being created, combined with weekly society online tournaments like tgctours and you have unlimited content.

    Its fantastic.    … Full Review »
