The Golf Club – XboxOne

Yet The Golf Club is more about appropriating the feel of the sport rather than dressing it up with good looks or flashy gimmicks. Each shot you take is bereft of the assists typical to modern golf games – there’s no swing timer to help you nail the right amount of power in your stroke, nor is there a virtual caddy to suggest which iron to use for your approach, nor aftertouch spin controls to correct a misplaced shot. All you’re given is the basic information for each hole – wind direction, distance to the pin and the elevation of the cup. It’s down to you to read the green and rely on instinct to choose the right club and shot type, and apply the right amount of power to your swing with the right thumbstick.
