I was excited to get my hands on The Golf Club. As good as the Tiger franchise has been, my fondest memories of playing golf games are still of playing Links and XSN back on the original Xbox. Made by Nova Scotia based developer HB Studios, The Golf Club is the closest thing to Links I’ve played since. Despite some flaws it can be an enjoyable, organic experience.

The Golf Club doesn’t have much to offer, and should honestly be priced around 20 dollars. It needs a bigger community to be able to be successful, as the map creator would then play a bigger part.

With a bit more polish applied to its presentation and the addition of a career mode to keep us hooked, this could well have been a package to seriously threaten EA’s domina...

Despite its unyielding dedication for all things realistic, I rather enjoyed the demanding style of play The Golf Club prides itself on, even during the first few hours, where the game will either draw you in or turn you off completely. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend The Golf Club to the less serious player (there are plenty of more laid back golf titles to choose from), but it’s a no-brainer for golf enthusiasts and purists alike.

The Golf Club nails its simulation of the greatest game with an emphasis on shot variability that defies precise, predictable results. But just about everything else leaves much to be desired.

Those wanting to get away from Tiger Woods' gimmicks will enjoy this, but it's merely functional.
