There are also full editing capabilities for Courses, Tournaments and Tours. Challenge your friends on a new or existing course in real time or try to beat their best recorded round.With a myriad of stat tracking, personal bests of others to beat , notifications, challenges and social media integration, you truly have a golf club worth joining.
Intuitive Control System
Fine tuned swinging mechanic more about feel and fluidity.
—
We’ve created and fine tuned a swing mechanic that is more about feel and fluidity that goes beyond the users’ accuracy of hitting a marker on a power bar. Whilst anyone will be able to pick the controller up and play comfortably, the best players on the global leaderboards will be those with the best feel for the different golf shots and who are able to take into account ball lie, weather and terrain conditions.
Instantaneous Gameplay
No loading times means you are straight back on the Tee.
—
No loading times between holes means you are straight back on the tee after sinking your putt on the previous green. Also, minimal loading times into a new course make for a refreshing change to your typical console game.
Unlimited Courses
Generate unique courses never seen before
—
No more getting bored of the courses given to you by the developer. With four clicks, you can generate a unique course never seen before that’s ready to play within any one of the Themes included: from Alpine and Autumn, to Rural, Desert, Tropical, Links and many more. There are currently 11 themes in total and nearly 80,000 courses for users to play!
Edit and Create your own Courses
If you have a particular course in mind, (or) want to use your creative skills to create something from scratch or edit something the generator has created for you, the game also has an in-depth editor. The Greg Norman Course Designer gives you the ability to create from scratch or mould anything on the course. You can alter the terrain, move tees, move greens, move holes, delete holes, add holes, bunkers, rivers, ponds, trees, foliage, buildings, animals and other objects. During editing, you can play the ball from any spot to review holes and make changes as you see fit. The minimal loading times make this practical and enjoyable.

Generate Courses
With four clicks of a button from the main menu, the game will generate for you a never been played before course. The variation is infinite! If you don’t like the course that’s been generated, one click and you can generate a new one. If you want to tailor the courses a little more, there are high-level options available to you. Examples of these are the number of holes, par distribution, fairway width, number of bunkers, green size, green slope and rough coverage.
Social Feeds and Messages

With one press of a button, you can interact with these messages. Immediately join your friends on a round or regain your record by jumping to the course and / or hole where the record was broken. All rounds are constantly saved so you can return to your previous game whenever you want to and play from where you left it.
