In addition, EA SPORTS PGA TOUR will launch with Road to the Masters which brings tradition and unmatched stakes featuring Augusta National, challenges, tournaments and gear tied to the Masters. The Masters made its first-ever virtual appearance with EA SPORTS in 2011, and its return to video games has been highly requested by golf fans. EA SPORTS will also provide more details on additional live service content throughout the 2023 PGA TOUR and LPGA Tour seasons.

“We're bringing the premier PGA TOUR experience to players around the world with real-world golf data powering incredibly realistic gameplay with every shot, and some of the most iconic courses in the world rendered in painstaking detail,” said Cam Weber, EVP and GM, EA SPORTS. “From The Old Course at St Andrews Links to Pebble Beach Golf Links and more, we’re giving players the chance to tee off in bucket list golf experiences like never before in EA SPORTS PGA TOUR .”

EA Sports PGA Tour Review - Hit The Links

• First Released Apr 4, 2023 released

EA returns to the world of golf with a challenging and rewarding title that's let down by a couple of inconsistencies and an underwhelming swing mechanic.

By Richard Wakeling on April 12, 2023 at 10:55AM PDT

EA Sports PGA Tour is unlike any other golf game I've played. It still features familiar elements from the series' past--back when Tiger Woods was front and center--such as slow-motion heartbeat moments and climactic power shots. But after an eight-year hiatus from the world of golf simulation, EA has returned to the fairway with a more demanding recreation of the sport that's as much about feel as it is mastering the game's robust mechanics. With 30 courses covering all four majors--including The Masters at Augusta National--EA Sports PGA Tour has a plethora of golfing action to sink your teeth into. It's just a shame there are a few notable issues in critical areas that hold it back from greatness.

The first of these is the game's swing mechanic. If you've played a golf game before, the actual act of swinging a driver or 5-iron will be familiar. You pull down on the analog stick to bring the club back, then push forward again to unleash your shot. This has been a staple in golf games for a number of years now, and there aren't any alternatives at the moment--not until a three-click system is implemented in a later update. The issue with EA Sports PGA Tour is that there's a slight delay between your input and the on-screen visual. Your swing isn't 1:1, so there's an uneasy disconnect where you never quite feel like you're in total control. The general malaise of each swing doesn't help matters either, with the slow, clunky pacing and frustrating lag making it difficult to nail the timing and power of each shot. I eventually grew accustomed to these idiosyncrasies over time, but it never feels quite right and fails to capture the satisfaction that hitting a 300-yard tee shot should achieve.

To compound the issue, EA Sports PGA Tour also lacks any sort of meaningful tutorial. There are tooltips that pop up and cover the basics the first time you play, but these brief snippets barely scratch the surface of everything going on under the hood. Instead, the game has a suite of challenges that happen to include a Coaching Academy. This is the best place to start, even if these challenges still neglect to offer any tips or feedback to help you along the way. What you get is a variety of contextual situations covering different aspects of the sport, from putting downhill to dealing with elevation changes and the multitude of shot types on offer. There's a lot of trial and error involved, but the repetition of replaying each situation does give you a greater understanding of how everything works. It's not a very user-friendly approach, but it sets expectations and is genuinely helpful in an unconventional way, even if it might prove frustrating for some. Plus, completing these challenges also earns you XP that can be used to improve your created character.

EA Sports PGA Tour's career mode sits front and center, starting off with your no-name golfer competing in the qualifying school before moving on to the amateur Korn Ferry Tour. The ultimate goal is to reach the PGA Tour, which can be done either by winning one of the many four-round courses or by placing highly enough in the Korn Ferry rankings come season's end. You can expedite this process by opting for a quick play mode where you only need to play a few holes rather than an entire round, but I think playing full rounds is the way to go. That's mostly because it gives you ample time to fine-tune your skills, learn the courses, and gain a better understanding of the game's mechanics. There's also a palpable sense of progression that comes from leveling up your golfer. Earning XP lets you build your skills in driving, approach play, short game, and putting, while progressing each attribute also unlocks more shot types, giving you additional options when preparing to send the ball careening toward the green.

Fortunately, the Coaching Academy includes challenges for each of the game's myriad shot types, giving you the opportunity to see how each one functions before playing competitively. There's value in understanding the differences between a runner, spinner, or knock-down shot, but knowing when to utilize each one essentially comes down to a matter of feel. In this respect, EA Sports PGA Tour resembles the sport of golf more accurately than any other game. There are a number of variables at play for every single shot, to the point where there's a real thought process behind each swing. You have to choose the right shot type and club for each situation, adjust for wind and elevation, judge how much power you need to put into the swing, and account for the distinct ways each course plays--tweaking your shot shape depending on the shape of the fairway and lie of the bunkers. The game helps to some degree by displaying relevant information such as wind speed and distance, but then you're left to your own devices. This can be frustrating, particularly early on when you're still learning the ropes and your golfer's attributes aren't up to snuff, but once everything clicks, EA Sports PGA Tour plays an engrossing game of golf that can be incredibly rewarding.

Much of this is down to the courses themselves. Every single one of the 30 officially licensed courses is staggeringly beautiful and offers an authentic attention to detail, whether it's Liberty National and its view of the Manhattan skyline, the waves crashing against the sand at Pebble Beach, or the alligators lurking in the water at TPC Sawgrass. Almost every course is iconic on some level, and they've all been faithfully rendered and recreated, right down to individual blades of grass. The absence of a course designer is a tad disappointing, but unlike PGA Tour 2K23, it's not something that feels like a necessity because there are already so many 18-hole delights. The courses are the game's main character, providing the kind of variety and depth to stave off any tedium. Mastering a golf game's mechanics is usually the key to success, but EA Sports PGA Tour's courses demand much more from you. Each one plays differently, whether it's the roll of the green or the width of the fairway impacting your decision-making. It genuinely feels like you're playing against the course rather than the shot meter.

The physics model, which is built around the official TrackMan data for ball tracking and swing analysis, is excellent for the most part. However, there are some inconsistencies when it comes to ball rollout. On The Old Course at St Andrews, for instance, the rollout is overly extreme to the point where the ball will roll uphill at pace, even through heavy rough. This forces you to account for situations that shouldn't really occur. Once you land on the green, putting is also equally aggravating for different reasons. Each green contains a grid that uses moving beads to show you the direction of the break. The problem is that sometimes this data is inaccurate and the break is opposite to what the beads are showing. The putt reader alleviates this somewhat by showing the ideal path to the hole, but this is also misleading at times. With no reliable way to gauge the breaks, putting is a lesson in irritation that will only be rectified if these issues are fixed in future updates.

Outside of career mode, EA Sports PGA Tour also features various tournament options for use in online matches against the community. If you want to play against friends, however, stroke play is the only option, and there's a disappointing lack of alternating play for those who want to see each other tee off. A range of daily, weekly, and seasonal tournaments give you another chance to earn XP and items like club specs and in-game cash for a limited time before they're refreshed, so there's an incentive to keep coming back. That in-game cash can be spent in a store of rotating items including various cosmetics, which holds some appeal because the character creator is extremely barebones. Outfitting your golfer in branded clothing can be fairly costly, though, which is explained by the inclusion of microtransactions for those who would rather buy the in-game currency with real money. This isn't a surprising move, but it doesn't exactly vibe with the serene mood.

After almost a decade away from the sport, EA's return to the golf course is a promising one. The range of shot types, courses, and tangible variables make for a methodical and tactical game of golf that's both challenging and rewarding. It stumbles by barely introducing players to its robust mechanics, while a laggy swing and inconsistent putting are notable flaws on what is otherwise a fantastic golf sim. EA Sports PGA Tour represents a solid re-entry for the series and lays down a sturdy foundation for an auspicious future.

• Leave Blank
• Each shot must be carefully considered, taking into account a number of variables
• All 30 courses are wonderfully recreated and each one feels distinct
• Offers a tough but satisfying simulation of golf that's close to the real thing
• The lack of tutorials makes for a rocky start
• Swing mechanics are delayed and create a disconnect
• Putting information is frequently misleading

PGA Tour 2K21 is a follow-up of the popular Golf Club, Golf Club 2, and Golf Club 2019 series.

Gamers familiar with The Golf Club 2019 will recognize most of the features of 2K21. However, there are a few additions.

The number of courses licensed on 2K21 increased to 15 courses, including TPC Sawgrass with its iconic island green. There are more current professional golfers available such as Bryson DeChambeau, Matt Kuchar, Tony Finau, and Justin Thomas.

On the mechanical side, gamers will recognize the shot interface and swing mechanics improvements, allowing them to change settings for distance, tempo, aim, and spin.

The PGA Tour Career Mode allows you to play your way from a newbie to ultimately becoming the FedEx Cup Champion. This is done while taking on 12 of the most popular professionals on the PGA TOUR, including Justin Thomas.

In addition to Justin Thomas, you also get to play against 11 other professionals on spectacularly authentic courses, including East Lake Golf Club.

Furthermore, you can build your own course and personalize your equipment and apparel using the MyPLAYER feature.

You can play the links against friends using local and online matches playing Alt-Shot, Stroke Play, Skins, and 4-Player Scramble gaming modes.

Best of all is that you can rule the clubhouse with Online Societies by setting your own entry rules and requirements.

The developers bring you the most authentic fairway, greens, bunkers, trees, lakes, and ponds by scanning real-world courses. The graphics are slick, and the course design features make for potentially years of playability. Adding a distinctive feature to the authentic experience is the commentary provided by Luke Elvy and Rich Beem.

Finally, you can interact with golfers globally using the internet chat feature.

• Release Date: August 28th, 2018
•  ESRB: E (Everyone)
•  Install Size: 5.5GB
•  Publisher: 2K (formerly HB studios)
• Developer: HB Studios

One of the interesting features of Golf Club 2019 are that the PGA Tour licenses, so in Career Mode, you can play through official PGA Tour events.

In addition, Career Mode also offers Q-School, Web.com Tour, and FedEx Cup Playoffs.

The Online Multiplayer option allows you to compete against other golfers while concurrently developing and assessing your performance.

The Online Society feature provides a leaderboard allowing you to compete in a custom tournament earning currency while climbing the leaderboard. It also provides access to courses designed by other golfers and designs your own course.

But it has fewer courses than PGA Tour 2K21 and does not include golfers such as Bryson DeChambeau, Matt Kuchar, Tony Finau, and Justin Thomas.

However, the graphics show you an authentic experience that will keep you returning for more.

Microsoft Studios developed Powerstar Golf, and a free version was made available at the launch of Xbox One.

Although the free version did not include all the paid version features, it was ideal for introducing golf games on Xbox One.

The cartoon aesthetics indicates that this is not a serious golf game but rather a game to have hours of fun with.

However, you still have to improve your gaming skills before you can be competitive against other golfers in multiplayer mode.

Progress is measured on the leaderboards whether you are playing against friends or in online multiplayer mode.

Every character has a signature move for gaining points and performing better.

There is even a Caddy system and an RPG Experience to earn points and assist you in upgrading your levels.

EA Sports have limited its venture into golfing games and this is the only golfing game released by them since 2015.

It is one of the most authentic experiences you will encounter on an Xbox One.

The game blends together some real-world golf courses and environments designed specifically for the game.

Beginners can opt for simpler arcade-style control input, while experts can tweak their swings for maximum effect.

In addition to the serious side of golf, Rory McIlroy PGA Tour introduces a “Night Club” mode providing some arcade-style challenges. You can increase the scoring options by hitting your golf ball into neon targets or landing your putt on a specific marker.

The three different gameplay modes are:

• Vintage graphics
• Much easier than some of its competitors
•  It shows its age in limited game modes
• Released Date: 1996
•  Developer: Nazca Corporation
•  Publisher: Hamster Corporation
• Install Size: 28MB
• ESRB: (Everyone)

This fast-paced arcade-style game was extremely popular in the 1990s and could be a big hit with golfers wanting to relive their childhood.

As the oldest Xbox One game, it only offers 2 modes, including Stroke Play and Match Play.

The number of golf courses available for play is limited to four, while you can only set up six different golfers.

But it still has the flashy graphics and solid gameplay mechanics that made it a winner.

There are many Xbox One golf games available from various online stores, including Amazon.

We have reviewed a few of the more interesting and competitive golf games for Xbox One in this article to aid you in selecting the right one for you.

So which is the best golf game for Xbox One? Although Rory McIlroy PGA  offers excellent value for money, our opinion is that the best Xbox One golf game is the 2K21 PGA Tour  game . It offers some of the best graphics, has realistic physics, customizable courses, and lots of options to set up your own avatar.

What To Look For When Buying a Golf Game for Xbox One

There are a variety of game modes available to provide players with options.

PGA 2K21 offers Career Mode, 4-Player Scramble, Skins, and Alt-Shot to compete with other golfers locally and abroad.

Rory McIlroy PGA Tour Pro Career Mode enables you to play the PGA Tournaments you love, and each year, they alternate golf courses.

NeoGeo Big Tournament Golf provides a “versus” mode while you wait to tee off. With fun options to make some noise as your opponent tees off.

Changing the game’s parameters enables you to personalize the game with your persona, creating a golf course or some individual holes.

With PGA 2K21, you can build whole courses and design how your character looks and plays.

Rory McIlroy PGA Tour offers a “Golf Your Way” customization option that allows you to choose one of three unique swing mechanics and several PGA TOUR pros and then customize your gameplay styles.

Rory McIlroy and 2K21 offer extremely authentic experiences with life-like environments designed to let you experience golf as it should be, but without the elements affecting your play.

Powerstar Golf is a more quick-hitting cartoon golf experience. Great for kids and playing against friends when you just want some golfing fun.
