It was fine for me, but once I kind of "finished" the game (and I haven't finally done it yet) it has kind of knocked me off the deep-end there.

I would play it at least a few times a week if they had weekly international tournaments, but it appears they are monthly.

I only engaged in the gem hunting once, and that was enough to demonstrate to me that it wasn't worth it. It's regrettable that the the grinding or pay to win element is so strongly now a part of this game.

I got so little out of these tournaments... I thought the winning scores in most of The Golf Club 2's Official tournaments were ridiculous, but the scores I see in Everybody's Golf's tournaments don't look like a sport I'm familiar with.

I think gem-hunting would have been more fun if you earned them based on good online rounds. When I found out that you can just enter a course and "get them," they didn't seem as great anymore.

Yup the "gem hunting" should've been part of the actual core golf gameplay... maybe you get gems for winning a tournament or winning a round of golf instead of winning coins. Making gems tied to non-golfing activities such as running around a golf course was a ridiculous decision and I'm sure there are lots of folks like me who gave up on the game due to such idiotic game design choices.

It's a shame really as the game is pretty good overall and quite addictive. It's just that when you reach higher levels and have to start gem hunting when you realize the game may not be so great after all.

I still play just about every day. I love the game, but I do wish some things were fleshed out a bit more. Custom tournaments - online and offline - would be nice.

I "beat" the game a few weeks ago, but I'm still playing challenge tournaments to complete the gallery. But it seems like the DLC courses are worthless offline since all you can do is a solo round, unless I'm missing something. It'd be nice to set up my own tour or tournament offline to utilize them.

New 1.13 update has a new Pine Hills course in the store.

Sadly, every time I try and play the game it hangs on the screen where it tries to retrieve my PSN purchases, says that it fails to do so.

Once they resolve things on their end, I really wish they could find a way to let us play our bonus courses as a part of the tour. I don't see why they can't have them show up there. Otherwise you're only really playing them online..

Apparently you can now create Turf War game rooms as well. So when this starts working, ya'll let me know and I'd love to play with some of you!

It gets stuck on the same part for me. I remember there being a message for server maintenance, so hopefully that’s all it is.

Edit: I can get into the game now.

I see the Pine Hills course on the game, but I can't find it in the store. Was hoping it would be out today so I could use the 20 percent off PSN code for it.

I'm going to venture a guess and say it won't be out in the US until the Tuesday PSN Store update.

I wish the DLC came on the Special level for tournaments. Didn't realize that for awhile lol

Right? If they could patch that in, I would be forever grateful. It would give these DLC courses a little more value. When I play that one DLC course (I forget what it's called, but the Asian one), I feel like the field I'm playing against is very barren when competing online. At least when competing offline, it will feel as normal as it usually does.

Anyway, one new feature that I am completely digging are these one-shot missions! I got maybe twenty gems in just five nine-hole courses simply from these one-shot missions alone, nevermind the ones I'd get hunting for them on the course itself or any other rewards. I do not know if one-shot missions occur offline yet, though.

Shot a -8 in the EG Championship this time around, currently ranked 431. Felt much better than the -2 during the qualifier, though of course I hit a lot of sand traps I shouldn't have both times. I had some crazy good approach shots. I think I could have gotten a -10 no problem, really.

I think I found my fix in using Vita Remote Play but watching it on my TV. That way there isn't any lag, and my ultra spin shots register as they are supposed to.

I was playing the challenge mode tonight (still trying to collect all the gallery members) and Nam Rong Bay showed up as one of the courses. So it looks like they did add the DLC courses to the challenge mode.

How many courses are in this game now?
I havent been playing as much.
Obviously the courses that came with the game. Then the 2 courses that you could download. anymore after that?? Or is it just the pine hill one that came out a month ago??
