The distinctive cracking sound of a well-struck drive reflects what you hear on the course in real life and on TV. And there is a fine attention to the small details.

The Golf Club 2019 is a good-looking game, particularly when playing at dusk with sunspots peeking through the clouds. If you've seen a broadcast or walked any of these courses in person, they will look familiar.

The Shriners tournament at TPC Summerlin in Las Vegas even includes fezzes as tee boxes just like in real life. 16 at TPC Scottsdale, is captured faithfully with its huge stadium-like atmosphere and massive crowds. 17 at TPC Sawgrass shines in the Florida sun, and I found myself holding my breath teeing it up to the protected island green. The six TPC courses are modeled with a fine attention to detail. The licensed courses are baked into the game's new PGA Tour career mode, with fictional courses filling in the gaps. The Golf Club 2019 brings six real-world courses to the game, including some of the well-known ones like TPC Sawgrass (home of the Players Championship) and TPC Scottsdale (home of the Phoenix Waste Management Open). Thanks to a new deal, HB Studios now has the license, and this-along with solid, smooth swing controls and fine attention to the small details of golf-helps make The Golf Club 2019 a drive forward for the golf simulation series. The first two Golf Club games from HB Studios were capable and compelling golf sims, but they lacked the punch of the official PGA Tour license.
