    That I can confirm because fantasy courses do not need an EA team laser-mapping a course that does not exist. Can't wait for EA to reveal the new courses....there are some awesome new courses coming out.

    I also agree that no fantasy courses in PGA TOUR play is a good thing and I believe EA agrees 100%. Besides, fantasy courses are not a part of being "inside the ropes of the PGA TOUR" which is the focus of all the new features and improvements this year.

      Didn't they say the same thing last year? To be honest, this disappoints me a little because DLC courses can't be used in season mode. If the really are going to be more aggressive then I assume that means more then 2 DLC courses and, it will just suck to have all these new course that can't be used during your season. I'd rather the game be delayed and the courses finished and put on the disc (I hope it is not a case of the 360 holding these back because of there DVD capacity compared to the PS3's BD).

      Rant to follow:

      I also hope they drop the price on the DLC as well, if they are really going to be more agrresive with it. I didn't mind paying 7.50 for each of the 2 course for 09 but, if they end up releasing 5, 6 or 7 course via DLC, I'm not sure I'm willing to shell out an additional $37-$52 for this game (after the inital $60 to buy it). I think courses should cost $5 or less to be honest. I know they work hard and put a lot of time into them but, EA has to look at it from the gamers point of view. Asking us to pay upwards of $90 (or more) for the complete package of a TW game just screams greed IMO when, if they delayed release for a few months, more of these planned DLC course could be included in the game. Now, I'm a sucker for new courses so, I'll probably end up handing EA my money but, I will not be happy about it! Of course, I'm assuming that the term "agressive" means more the 3 DLC courses. The game use to come out in August so, why not push it back to August and get a few more course in the game.

        No, they did not say the same thing last year.

        The 360 DVD is definately a factor in how many courses can ship with the game. The PS3 and the BluRay DVD is not an issue. Another reason that EA does not include a course disc is because every 360 DVD that is shipped costs them extra in game development costs where DLC is a fraction of that cost. I can see both sides to the argument though, but until the 360 DVD has more capacity and/or MS relaxes the fees they charge on multi-DVD games, I don't see any other way around this. And I do agree that pricing should be lower as $7.50 USD for courses that were either in the previous version and/or cannot be played in offline mode is steep and unreasonable.

          Totally agree!!
          I'm liking what i'm hearing so far about the game though!
          June can't come soon enough! Hopefully the new putting system works and feels like Links. I will be very happy!!! I hope the overall feel and ball physics were improved too.

            All I know is I can't wait for this (first time ever) and wish they would start dropping more info on us and better yet interact with us the way the Live and Madden devs are.

              I really hope they have the Moonah course from The National Golf Club (in Australia) in the PS3 / 360 version. I work on the groundstaff on the Moonah course and i remember when EA came out to do all the laser mapping and photography of the course, they were there for over 2 weeks taking 1000's of readings and photos. It made me respect the effort the developers put in to bring these courses to us. Fingers crossed!

                If they spent 2 weeks there you would think they would be planning of having it in the game. That would be awesome to have an Aussie course in the game especially Moonah

                  I think that pretty much confirms that Moonah is in the game. I don't think EA would go to that much trouble to fly over developers and spend weeks there if they weren't intending to put the course in the game.

                    I don't remember seeing the course in the game, but I could be wrong as it has been 2 months since I saw the game and courses. The new courses I did see in the game really caught my eye and are first class courses. Moonah has been in previous TW versions, so I am not sure when the EA team was there and if it was not last year, then I am not sure if it is in the game. Then again, if it is going to be in the game, it might be on the DVD if I overlooked it or it might be a DLC course.....

                      I doubt they would have wasted that much moolah mapping the course is they weren't planning on using it. If this is the same course that's in Tiger Woods 07 on the XBox, I'm definitely in favor of it... great course!

                        I know you can't say much yet but is there a Canadian course represented. More specifically the same one that they had in Links. Now that was a fun course to play in that game.

                        Are their any courses you're suprised they took out? I hope they kept Sawgrass in there just for the 17th hole alone.

                          Tell us when EA was there and I guess we'll have our answer.

                            Sorry guys i forgot to explain that this was about 4 years ago that EA came out. The Moonah course is already on the first gen versions (PS2, Xbox). Sorry to get you guys excited. I was just hoping that they bring it into the next gen versions

                              The ESPN article on Tiger Woods 2010's new terrain graphics that I read over the weekend showed an EA photographer/imager on location at a course, doing his thing. I'm pretty sure it was Banff Springs, which is in Canada.

                                Now you got me excited, that course was amazing to play on Links. I figured with a bunch of new courses this year and EA being based in western Canada it would be a no-brainer to put in that beautiful course.
