If The Golf Club was a wrestling federation, it would be mid-1990s ECW. Both products were born from and designed around the belief that the status quo in their respective industries had become stale and antiquated.

Although bare bones, I love this game and anyone with even the remotest interest in the sport should give it a shot.

This game is easily becoming my favorite golf game. Hot Shots and Golden Tee are up there too.

I have been playing non stop since purchasing last week. Sure it could use a career mode of some sort but for what it is I am still loving it

This is everything most have been asking for at OS for years from devs and sports games. A game that will grow with added content without the need to spend $60 every year, developers that listen and implement from the feedback of their customers, a game that sticks to realism in its sport. I'm not sure what else you could ask for at this point. Game is already my GOTY and it will only get better as the devs have time to implement more to it in the future.

Kudos to the HB Studios team on being completely transparent during *EVERY* step of the process. It's a big deal, especially with the tactics from EA Sports as of late.

Really great game. Will only get better.

The reason I love this game so much is because it has none of the fluff. I've never understood why some people cared so much about putting on a digital Nike shirt or having digital Callaway clubs when the core gameplay was a bad representation of the sport.

I hope they never add anything like skill attributes, I love the fact that everyone is on the same level playing field and the only way to get better is to play the game better. That is so refreshing in an age where you can basically buy your way to the top of every other sports game. I don't think a career mode is need either, we can create our own tours which will serve as the career. When not playing a tour you just go play a round of golf, like we all do in real life, no career needed IMO.

TGC is the best representation of the game of golf I've ever experienced on a console. Yes, there may be some rough edges but, the core gameplay is so good that those edges just fade into the background IMO. I can't wait to see what HB Studios has in store for this game in the future. I really hope it is a huge financial success for them, or at least enough to continue to put time into its development.

I have been a long time supporter of EA's series, even with it's short comings. I was looking forward to seeing what EA could do with the PS4/XB1 and was excited about the information they were going to release at E3... then they released that trailer. My interest took a huge hit but, I was still holding out hope that EA could surprise us because I love golf. Unfortunately for EA, I didn't expect to love TGC so much. I'm not sure I'll even give EA's game another look. With EA's track record, there is just no way they will be able to match the gameplay in TGC and that is all that matters to me. TGC is the only golf game I need.
