Add to those four TPC Boston, Bay Hill, TPC Scottsdale (pre order bonus) and the BF4 inspired fantasy course Paracel Storm.
Mmm, not good news re the PGA Tour 15 course list. According to Operation Sports there's just 8 real world, plus Scottsdale if you pre order and 4 fantasy tracks. To context, PGA 14 shipped with 20 licensed courses!
In other news TGC Career mode dlc has been delayed in Europe. HB Studios are hopeful it will be on the store next week.
Preordered PGA 2015. Watched a couple of videos last night & it looks fantastic. I'm glad they've included the 3 click system as I can never hit straight using the thumbsticks

Hearing from EA that there will be free 'content' updates post launch, hopefully some additional real world courses. Also that the game will not be an annual release, more of an evolving project, much like TGC.
Used them 5 times now & never had any problems. You can change the email address/password so you can re download them if your PS4 breaks & they work on your account so you can earn trophies, play online etc. I buy all my games from there now.
I'd like a golf game. Not sure whether pga or tgc.
TGC is top class Allan, but it's more of a sim golfing experience. Don't get me wrong, it's not brutally difficult but the putting in particular takes much practice. I'm presuming you are more of a casual golfer, in which case I think the more accessible nature of the PGA Tour franchise would be more attuned to your needs.
Didn't realize that there was such a big thread for this game. I bought it a couple of weeks ago and really enjoy it. Am currently using the editor to recreate a local course.

TGC is quality and resides comfortably in my new gen top five. Only paid 11 quid for it in a PSN sale, for the many hours I've put in that represents top value. In fact the course designer alone is worth the entry fee.
If you want some course reccies give me a shout, there's some real beauts out there.
First in a series of short videos showcasing TGC's Greatest Courses. Btw the course ratings are not my views, but based on the TGC Members who have played the courses. Very useful for TGC newcomers struggling to find the designing talent amidst the many lesser offerings. More to come idc.
I've just published my first course - Sherfield Oaks Waterloo. A recreation of the course in Hampshire. It's far from perfect but if anyone fancies a wizz round go ahead. Just watch the green on the 15th!
Passing on PGA for now due to an array of negatives which include some truly embarrassing hole out animations, anomalous ball physics, diminished content and woefully inadequate character generation. Most critically however the games defining feature (aka career mode) lacks polish, diversity, depth and feels kinda soulless. On a positive, TPC Scottsdale is now available free and the famed East Lake GC is also incoming September for zero outlay.
EA PGA Tour Golf Update
Delighted to report that this one is evolving very nicely after the recent 1.4 and 1.5 patches. Most notably those 'truly embarrassing hole out animations' are mercifully no more! The updates also include tweaks to ball physics, stabilty and performance fixes, four new modes of play, two new courses including real world Quail Hollow, with more incoming foc. Yep, I have a strong feeling this blossoming little geezer may well be under that tree come the 25th. Sweet!

Career mode dlc is now live, also includes the tropical and delta course themes. £7.99 gets you in.

I found TGC to be very difficult & not as accessible as the PGA games.
I've ordered PGA from here http://www.digitalgamesandgiftcards.com/store/p85/Rory_McIlroy_PGA_Tour_%28Primary_Account%29.html

Ahoy, been busy recently so not played much. But add me if you like and you can challenge my ghost rounds. Psn.. Chelsea-Saint
Hoping to get some time to get stuck into it over the weekend, so will do!

Thanks and respect to all the designers, who put a huge amount of effort and time into these wonderfully sculpted courses.

I'm so far sticking to playing, but I fear it won't be too long before I bite the bullet and lose hours and days of my life on the course designer
It does truly suck away hours of your life. And then hardly anyone will ever play your course anyway.
Speaking of which . . . . . . see my post above
I'll give it a go when I get chance to play over the next few days!
Ha ha - cheers. It was my first attempt so there are a few 'issues'. Mainly the afore mentioned green on the 15th.
