About This Game

The Golf Club is HB Studios’ next generation golf simulation. Stunning visual presentation and outstanding gameplay are to be expected but what really takes The Golf Club into the next generation is the procedural generation of courses and depth of social interaction. The Course Creator can generate a brand new course in seconds which can be shared and played immediately online with friends and other gamers across the world. There are also full editing capabilities for courses, Tournaments and Tours. Challenge your friends on a new or existing course in real time or try to beat their best recorded round. Add to this a myriad of stat tracking and personal bests of friends and rivals to beat, notifications, challenges and social media integration and you truly have a golf club worth joining.

INTUITIVE CONTROL SYSTEM

We’ve created and fine tuned a swing mechanic that is more about feeling and fluidity above the users’ accuracy of hitting a marker on a power bar. Whilst anyone will be able to pick the controller up and play comfortably, the best players on the global leaderboards will be those with the best feel for the different golf shots and who are able to take into account ball lie, weather and terrain conditions.

INSTANTANEOUS GAMEPLAY

No loading times between holes means you are straight back on the Tee after sinking your putt on the previous green. Also, minimal loading times into a new course make for a refreshing change to your typical console game.

UNLIMITED COURSES

No more getting bored of the courses given to you by the developer. With four clicks you can generate a unique course never seen before that’s ready to play.

GENERATE COURSES

With four clicks of a button from the main menu the game will generate for you a never been played before course. The variation is infinite!

If you want to tailor the courses a little more there are high-level options available to you. Examples of these are the number of holes, par distribution, fairway width, number of bunkers, green size, green slope and rough coverage.

EDIT AND CREATE YOUR OWN COURSES

The editor gives you the ability of create from scratch or mould anything on the course. You can alter the terrain, move tees, move greens, move holes, delete holes, add holes, bunkers, rivers, ponds, trees, foliage, buildings, animals and other objects.

LARGE SELECTION OF PRE-DESIGNED COURSES SHIPPING WITH THE GAME

Courses for all skill levels and utilizing the best of HB’s creative talents will ship with the game. They can be played individually but will also make up the tournament itinerary for the pre-designed Tour that also comes with the game.

LOCAL MULTIPLAYER

Up to four players can play locally. Differentiate yourselves with different character models and clothing and choose between stroke play, match play or fourball.

ONLINE SHARING AND PLAY

Play others creations - work your way through the huge database of user created courses, each rated by other users to help make the decision easy to make.

Share your courses with the World – when you’re happy with your creations you can publish them for the rest of the world to play.

Play against others live or from the past - each round you play on every course is saved Online. Choose from Friends Rounds, Record Rounds or Rivals Rounds (others players close to your ability) to compete against. Their ghost balls and scores will be visible throughout your round giving you the feeling of competition without losing the instantaneous game play. Ghost and live balls can be hidden if so desired either selectively or en masse.

Watch others play the courses you’re on live – through our ball trace system you can see other users from around the world on the course that you are playing live, even if they’re on different holes.

Pros.
looks nice
Nice continue game feature
Multiplayer works quite well

Cons.
Playing on a PC with dual monitors is a pain, ie. no screen traversal in full screen mode.
Unusual naming and positioning of the advance tab.
Club power is difficult to control.
No metric voice over.
Changing units from metric to imperial or vice versa creates a mix of the two.
Only seems to work with Directx 11 compute shader compatible graphics cards.
Unable to see multiplayer friends until on the course.
Overly complex menu layout needs a basic and advanced mode.
Sometimes all courses are unavailable.
Feels like a beta.

I have not enjoyed a computer golf game so much since I played early DOS versions of Links in the early '90's. Though I played that with a mouse, this game is much more enjoyable for me with a gamepad. I suspect many of the negative reviews about the feel of the game are from people not playing with a gamepad. The negative reviews that talk about the lack of "leveling up" and "improving shots" are really the greatest strength... you get better at this game by playing and practicing, just like real life. It does take practice, and you get better by playing and learning. Sooo much better than the EA golf games' "upgrades", and "level-ups".

The only negative views I fully understand concern online play and the handicap system. That is truly broken and exploited. But that does not take away from the fact that this is just a fantastic golf sim, with essentially unlimited course options. I would love the option of real world courses and equipment, but even that does not take away from the fact that this is a fun and relaxing golf game. The course designer is an awesome addition, and it is just fun to play solo, or with friends you know won't cheat the system. I took a chance the last time it was on sale, and liked it so much I went back and bought the collector's edition upgrade to further support the developer. Well worth the price, and I look forward to the next version.

Well, basically the game doesn't work. Ok, let me correct myself, kind of. It does work, but the control system doesn't.

It doesn't matter if you use mouse/keyboard, a PC gamepad or an XBox controller on your PC (I've used all 3). You will always hit a number of shots at 85% power, despite doing a full power swing. The likelihood of this seems to increase with your framerate. The higher the framerate, the more likely you are to hit underpowered shots. It's as if the engine is skipping input samples the faster it goes or some such.

Anyway, avoid at all costs. So much promise but ultimately let down by shoddy coding in the most important area of the game.

I'm not too sure why there are so many bad reviews for this game. I haven't played hunderds of hours but so far I haven't had any issues at all. I was looking to buy a golf game, this was on offer and I couldn't be happier. So much variety with thousands of courses to choose from. Looking forward to creating my first course.

If you're looking for a golf game get this. Unless you want something like Golf With Friends but they're obviously very different games.

The mechanics feel "clunky"when using mouse. Seems to need more power to run this game than it should.

I have waited a long time for a natural, non-arcadish golf game. I thought this was the one, and in many ways it is.

What I want to know however, is why it seems that no developer is able to put out a golf game where the difficulty simulates true play.

-22 on 18 holes?

Obviously, this is someone who is cheating or doing the impossible of having multiple golfers of the same name all winning, but believe me, I have yet to play in a tourney where there weren't many, or most, people at -18 or better for a round.

Either the game is just too easy for some, thus requiring the devs to consider making it more realistic, or in a twist of irony, cheaters are all over the place in the game of golf, which is the one sport of which I know that players admit to their own errors and take their penalties.

I know these things about the game for sure:

It does not FEEL arcadish in the play.
the handicapping system is utterly being abused and needs to be revised.
Playing the game is very fun, and it is definitely my favorite golf game to date.
It is still not the game which makes it "real" in terms of scoring potential.
I will always finish last when people are shooting -18 or better through 18 holes, and the game needs to ensure that can't happen if they want to truly make a great golf simulation.

The game is beautiful in a different way, graphically. It uses many textures repeatedly, yet somehow that doesn't seem to matter and the scenary is still lovely. It is far more organic than the Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy franchises, but nevertheless, suffers the same level of either cheating or ease of beating they both do as well.

I would recommend this game highly to anyone who just wants to play some rounds without concern for place in a match. I would highly discourage anyone who isn't a cheater and wants to score well against competition to spend the money; you won't win, and your handicap will never reflect it, for whatever reason.

A bit old graphics and local co-op games aren't properly saved, but otherwise a great competitor for easports' golf games.

I honestly didn't like the controls in game or for the map editor.
And I didn't want to put in the 100's of hours to perfect the feel of the swing as I would rather do that in real life.
As for the controls in the editor, most were clumsy and clunky.
My frustration level while playing/creating was though the roof

Which is a shame because everything else about the game was really cool.
I really wanted to like this game as it's nearly everything I want in a golf game.
Ugh

Avatar Golf for Xbox Live is still the pinnacle of golf in my eye. Which is silly when you think about it.

If you are willing to learn the control scheme, you may find great enjoyment. There is definately a good game in there. You can tell the developers put a lot of care into their product. But just be aware that it will take getting used too and time.

I've been playing this game for a few hours now and totally recommend it for anyone looking for a realistic golfing game. I was a big fan of the Tiger Woods Golf franchise on Xbox but this game is a more accurate depiction of golf, with no in-air spinning of the ball or any other fancy gimmicks. You truly get frustrated with the game, as you would in real golf, when you don't hit the perfect, straight shot and when your approach onto the green is off. It will take a lot of practice to get a good handicap but that is what makes this game fun. The graphics are decent and the loading of the next hole is pretty quick.
