  That mountain of content is wrapped up in a game that is overall pretty good. Much like golf, things that go wrong will frustrate you beyond belief, but they’ll make you feel like a million bucks when they go right. At least if you throw your controller in frustration at a bad shot it’ll be cheaper to replace than dumping your bag of clubs into a lake.

  TGC2 represents my introduction to this series, as I did not play the original entry. Quite honestly I found this advantageous while writing this review, because I didn’t have any preconceived notions about the series going in. While this created some challenges for my initial onboarding into the game, I feel like it allows me perspective to judge the games merits objectively, without chalking weaknesses up to “well it’s better than the last one”.

  The Golf Club 2 improves on enough from its predecessor to justify its existence, and feels like a much more refined package overall. Even with all the new bells and whistles, I still like how it’s a gimmick-free experience. HB knows that, first and foremost, we’re here to play golf, and that's remained its focus when making this sequel. With a bit more polish, proper online multiplayer, and a more bespoke, hand-crafted feel, this series could become something special.

  I expected The Golf Club 2 to be better than the first in every way given the new career setup and golf societies, but I was surprised the addition of the swing tempo gameplay is what gives this title a lasting structure. This, combined with the course creator, make the game indispensable for any golf fan. You'll be seeing those missed putts in your dreams and savoring every chip-in birdie.

  6.0

  If you’re excited enough by virtual golf that all you want is a nigh-infinite sandbox to play it in, then The Golf Club 2 is the game for you. Its dullness is inoffensive, and who knows – maybe once the servers are up there will be lots of fun to be found in the metagame that springs up between competing Societies. But as it stands, I’m just not sure I can recommend the game as being anything more than adequate.

  8.0

  The Golf Club 2 combines a good golf simulation game with the social interaction of an actual clubhouse through the online societies with an engrossing career mode. The joy of trying to dominate the links comes from play mechanics that are easy to pick up but will take much practice in order to master. Whether playing against AI opponents or other people, victory or defeat is entirely up to the skills of the player.
