The Golf Club Closed Beta Impressions (Q&A Inside)

Hole #2 on that video is just sweet, I do not think I have seen the elevation like that in many golf games and it just seemed nice.

On my local course, there is a hole that has a huge valley and is a pain in the you know what, cannot wait to try and recreate that.

On a side note, seems you have some trouble judging distances with the elevation factoring in all around the course, seemed tough, very nice to see.

I will mirror what onlooker said in the fact the the newest build really takes this game forward. Still some tweaks to be made and kinks to be ironed out - but the game feels much more polished now with this second build -

Loved the Par 3 where you couldn't see the flag off the box. Not knowing where that ball will land due to elevation and or being below/above the hole is nice.

Finally looks like the difficulty will be the course and not the settings which a welcome change.

I know you've already touched on this, but driving is still too accurate. They need to tone down the width of the red swing meter on the bottom right. Looks way to wide at the moment.

It has been tweaked in the new build Jerz, but IMO it needs to be tweaked some more. I'm not hoping for something that is stupid hard, just a consistent challenge - after all the game is suppose to replicate the idea of going out on the weekend with a couple of friends to hit the links, not the PGA Tour.

Quite an improvement over the previous videos already. Obviously they need to work on the golfer stances and animations but they really might have something special here. I assume the delayed sounds of the ball strikes and hole outs, which needs to be toned down, will be fixed? I gotta say the commentary rivals the worst I have ever heard in a golf game. Overall this looks like a must buy for golf fans.

They are slightly delayed because of the recording. In game they match the swing as expected, and never sound out of synch.

Played the toughest course and round to date. Someone created Bay Hill, and kicked the living hell out of me. I recorded the full 18 hole disaster and will gladly have it available in the morning for all to view. Obviously I didn't play my best round(it was 1:15am when I played)but still this course crushed whatever confidence I had going into it.

How accurate was the Bay Hill recreation? I can't imagine it's too impressive haha.

Quick question, can you manually draw a fairway to make it any shape you want in course creator?
