I fancy a round...

Anyone play golf on pc?

PGA TOUR 2K23 DELUXE EDITION is only 15quid at the mo, was wondering what it plays like.

Not too worried about online play, just a couple holes here and there

This version any good?

Unrelated but I remember the first golf game I played was PGA486

Just watched a quick YT clip, hopefully the graphics have come on a bit

 

[Worthy]

Yep, it's good. It's a regular for us on the Friday night game night

I got the ea sports pga game the other day for £11.99. Customisation is crap but gameplay and depth good. I suck but it seems as difficult as real golf on approach and greens

It's a good game, swing difficulty feels a bit easier than PGA TOUR 2K23. Plenty of official courses to play and they all look amazing. I bought at full price, so at £15 it's hard to turn down.

Personally I play Links 2003, you can buy it much cheaper than these new games, gameplay holds up well and many community made courses available.

Also play Links 2003. Recently have been thinking about how I could wangle an install on a steam deck.

Used to love a golf game back in the 90's.

I see this and worried they had made it too complicated compared to games like PGA tour golf from way back when

Zooming along with my superfast download now, only 3 gig to go

Do you play on LSPN online tour? If not, should check it out.

I don't think I will ever stray from the traditional three click swing method. I think Links 2003 has the mouse move type swing, or it was in another golf game I tried, and I was like nah, never going to get used to that. Its either that or it has gone the other way and been dumbed down to accommodate the consoles. Not interested in all of the microtransactions either that they push.

I think I have heard of there being an online league like that, I'm more of a casual single player when I feel like firing Links up. There are so many excellent free courses, I have a mod which is a realistic career mode with like 50 or more courses with all the majors and different tournaments for all the levels from amateur to pro. Also have a mod to add realistic crowd noise and commentary including the venerable Peter Alliss. I do look at the more modern PC golf games, but I just don't see anything that much netter than I know I can get from Links.

I do miss a good golf game. I fondly remember Links 386 Pro. In more modern golf gamers I hate the over the top "American" style celebrations.

I played PGA 2k21, I wasn't very good at it, I preferred the old simpler PGA game on my 286 PC. I

You could pay pennies for the older version to see if you like it, I doubt it's changed massively

pga 2 will always be the best golf game imo on the megadrive.

Get In The Hole! On every shot in the latest EA Masters game becomes painful after a few rounds...

You can buy Links 386 Pro on GOG. Currently on sale if you want to relive your experience. I bought it a few days ago, just missed a sale on the other two Links games.

 

[mingeroonie]

Just played a quick 6 holes, just what I was after
Wont be going too in depth with all the skills etc, just something to muck about with every now and then

I actually played it in 1996 so I guess even by then it was already quite old.

For that price I shall buy that later tonight. I know it's going to be basic some 30 odd years after I first played it, but it was the best, by far, golf game in it's day.
