Realistic sim The Golf Club tees off on PS4, Xbox One and PC
HB Studios has announced a new golf game and direct competitor to EA's Tiger Woods games PGA Tour series: The Golf Club. As interesting as the game looks, can we all agree the title is a bit on the nose?
The Golf Club, coming to PS4, Xbox One and PC, features procedurally-generated courses that can be shared with other players through the game's social media hub. Editing tools will allow users to fine-tune courses, and HB Studios says loading and wait times between holes will be next to zero thanks to the nature of the game's procedural generation. Users can even create and share custom tournaments and tours.
The Golf Club is built on the Unity engine and plans to – wait for it – take a swing this spring.
