This game is more realistic, very simple, and definitely more geared toward golf fans. If you think you will pick up this game and be great at it from the start think again. Even despite some framerate issues, and lack of a sense of accomplishment with perks, equipment boosts, and other things this game is still pretty awesome. Once they iron out all the quirks in the game come update time this game will be great. Also, there are many courses to play from users and the game itself. I advise any golf fan or even TW fans to get this but warning it can be difficult at times.… Expand

Driving and irons are a little too easy, but the short game is a challenge. I'm glad it does not try to simulate real pros and waste time with "drama". You just make shots for a half hour. Also golf is simple enough not to involve too many buttons at once.… Expand

   This game IS NOT Tiger Woods. with that out of the way, you have to know what you are buying. think SimGolf meets Minecraft with a simpleThis game IS NOT Tiger Woods. with that out of the way, you have to know what you are buying. think SimGolf meets Minecraft with a simple approach to the mechanics of golf.
   
   The Course Creator(10/10): it is why a majority of buyers will jump on board. you can spend as little or as much time as you can imagine on any given hole. always wanted to tweak TPC Sawgrass' 17 island green? you can recreate it and modify it until your heart is content. tired of everyone hitting the fairways with ease, narrow them down, put 50 bunkers, put a stream down the middle, put trees jutting out into the fairway. if you can imagine a hole design, then you can create it. what is great is that as you are building a hole, you can quickly play the hole and then jump right back into the editor, helps when testing out yardages and the likes. you can even quickly play from a specific spot on your hole so you don't have to tee off on the hole, just place your ball at point X and play from there.
   
   Gameplay(9/10)now the game play is smooth and basic. no swing meters, no landing circle telling you that your driver will land in this specific area or that applying X amount of loft will make the ball trajectory clear the tree line. you have a camera fly-over that gives you the general area you are aiming towards and you have an overhead map that provides yardages on the hole you are on. putting is probably the most true to feel of all the aspects of gameplay. you can read the green and generally decide your aim, then its about providing a smooth clean putt. there is no putt meter or "putt preview". my missed putts usually felt wrong the moment I made contact... rather than "oh man I only hit it 68% instead of 80%"
   
   the graphics(6/10): they are not great, they are early last-gen. things look pretty from a distance and as a whole but when you are playing a round you will see the flaws. this game was never about being the best looking golf game out there.
   
   replayability(10/10): this is the key, you don't have licensed anything much less courses so you have to understand that you will be playing user created courses. that being said, by launch there were already thousands of courses created. you can search by top rated, style, difficulty, courses friends have played, courses friends have created, etc. so you could play a different course everyday and never repeat. it also helps that the course publishing is cross-platform so you can share courses with PS4 and PC players, I imagine the PC players will create the best courses over time. unfortunately scores do not cross platforms.
   
   so understand that you are not buying a game competing with EA Golf(Tiger Woods), you are buying a game that brings you a robust course creator and a solid golf simulator with last gen graphics.
   
   for $34.99, this game is a 9/10 but you have to know what you are buying. if you just want to jump in and play 20 courses with a real golfer and real clubs and outmuscle every designed hazard, skip this. if you want to create your own golf course where par is actually par, or play other peoples creations that are growing by the thousands across 3 platforms daily then pick this up.… Expand

I love the idea of a sim game or even just an EA competitor. However, lack of tutorials limits the audience right out of the gate, even if they are long time EA customers. The game needs to look better and approach a casual audience to engage more people socially, from there they can experience the depth the game has to offer. Unfortunately the game has to much depth to pick up and have fun. I dont see it competing with EA until maybe a third installment, even if people dont mind bug/choppy graphics.… Expand

   I could easy have given this better score, but the small things ruins to much. Like you will get the Message "Connection lost" regurlarly.I could easy have given this better score, but the small things ruins to much. Like you will get the Message "Connection lost" regurlarly. Every time I go to the submenus Connection is lost and I have to wait and hope it Connects itself or I have to go back to menu and Connect.
   My saved round didnt start me where I left off. The leaderboardsystem is no good. The Graphics are horrid. The Interface/menu is no good. The putting I kinda enjoyed untill I tried fast greens. The ball has some kind of perpetuual motion and With only 0,00001mph speed the ball rolls 50 feet. Its just strange to watch. Also putting uphill is strange. You have to hit way hardr than the rest of the game indicates.
   
   Good things is you get Message if friend starts a round and you can jump in. Onlinemode is good if they can buy a server or two.... Lots of good courses. Gameplay itself is also pretty good.… Expand

First when i finish the local season it wont save my results so i cant go to the next season. Second the green are like ice. The ball hits of the front of the green and rolls off the back of the green. Third, its very hard to increase your skills and fourth when i play the tour its very discouraging to see other players with scores of 15 to 20 under par and i cant ever finish even par. I hate this game.… Expand

Was promised that the Xone version was significantly improved over the PC. That is total and complete BS.
   
   Never buy another game from this studio. I'm surprised EA hasn't sued them yet (though I hear from a friend it's under consideration) for ripping off their mechanics and making them about as terrible as it can get.
   
   Maybe they're just laughing at the hilarious failure this has already become. I'd pay 5$ to get a couple holes in with friends until PGA 15 hopefully hits a home run. At $35 it's a scam more or less.
   
   Save your money folks, nothing to see here.… Expand
