The Golf Club: Early Access Impressions

[RaychelSnr]

For those who have been keeping tabs on the new golf game from HB Studios, The Golf Club, you know that the game has entered into the early access phase on Steam. It's a glorified open beta test, but the idea is to allow any and all users who are interested to try the game in its current state, and relay back to the studios what they like, or don’t like.

As someone who has been lucky enough to play the game from its initial closed beta stage to the most current open access stage of 0.31, I am happy to report the improvements keep coming. While the general individual improvements are smaller in nature, when one adds them all up, they show what this game is capable of when the final retail build drops later this spring.

i have not had chance to play the beta as i'm xbox one but am so looking forward to this game more than any other....my big worry though is that on every video i have seen it looks like it is so easy tee to green keeping shots straight

I have found the game fairly simple so far.

One thing I don't like is that you can alter your shot technique (loft) to pinpoint exactly where you want to land the ball. I wish the landing yardage didn't change based on the loft change, I want to have to calculate that myself and have it as feel.

This right here is exactly what I did not want to hear .....the game needs to be a challenge

IGN has 6/30/14 listed, but I think that's more of a place holder than anything else. I have a hunch that HBS is hitting some serious road blocks to their plans for not only cross platform play, but cross platform content sharing to boot, and that's accounting for some of the delay, at least.

Looks and sounds fantastic.

The sports gaming community is starving for something that is moddable and customizable. It seems like sports games are way behind the times in that regard. Fantastic to see TGG take a leading role. No doubt the developers are trying to build a relationship with their fans. It's going to be great.
