The Golf Club 2

I enjoy it. Never played tiger woods or ea golf games, but the swing mechanic is pull back control stick and push forward. I've read complaints about the controls, but they have worked just fine for me using an Xbone controller... Might be that I just got used to it more easily since I've never played any other golf video game.

I play it just to play golf as well, don't care about customization or rankings.

This is what Golf Club is best for. I think it's the most real sim of all the golf games and most fun

Aside from control complaints, most people weren't happy about the lack of official PGA courses and gear.

The Golf Club 3 is endorsed by the PGA, so that should broaden the appeal. I love golf games, but I never grabbed The Golf Club. That will change with 3.

Swing mechanics are just like TW but without smashing R2 for spin. They have 3 different sets of clubs that change the difficulty of the swing. If you use beginner clubs you’re going to hit the ball consistently straight but you won’t have the distance and ability to draw/fade. The pro clubs have the distance and the ability to shape the shots but you have to be perfect with the joystick.

My biggest gripe about the game is the golfer doesn’t level up, you’re pretty much just stuck being a mediocre golfer. It needs a more developed career mode where you start as an amateur and work your way up to beast mode.

And the online course creator is awesome, you can download perfect replications of every decent course in America. Sawgrass, Augusta, pineburst, pebble, or basically any course that has hosted a PGA event are available for free.

If I were you, I wouldn't spend the $30 on TGC2. TGC3 is coming out in August sometime so you would be better off waiting.

got it

played 30 min

requested refunds

game looks fantastic but the mechanics are complete shite - physics are terrible and random - shots make no sense

I’m not such a purist but I fell in love with this game. Putting doesn’t seem overtly difficult, the endless course options is fantastic, and while the graphics are a little clunky at times I think they did a good job capturing the different landscapes

I should probably edit my post, but after my refund - i had a couple buddies get the game and convince me to give it another shot

i kind of like it now

steam will be wondering wtf I'm doing when they look back at my history
