Graphics: 7/10 Gameplay: 6/10 Way too much stuttering. The game seems to stutter on every other shot. It only does it maybe once out of ten times during the actual swing but that is still unacceptable and periodically affects gameplay. Ball physics are good, not great. Golf shots feel pretty good when it doesn't stutter although drives are still too easy (at least a little more difficult than the first game though). Putting can be a little frustrating but a lot better than the sink every put history of EA golf games. The AI golfers are a little too good as they seem to put a -16 on the scorecard EVERY time on medium difficulty regardless of the course. This is still the best golf sim I am aware of mostly due to a lack of options. I wish the golfers had more power also although I see there are 3 different types of golf club sets now and I have only used the default. Features: 8/10 Career mode leaves a little to be desired but the create a course option and the shear quantity of courses as a result will provide plenty of content. Best Buy needs a Maybe option for "I would recommend this to a friend" as I would only recommend this game to someone who is eager to play a golf sim because this is one of the very few options.

With the deterioration of the EA SPORTS PGA GOLF games this is a nice alternative. So hard to find a golf game that is realistic and fun....

Playing online with someone else is much faster now. That was my main complaint about the previous version. But there is definitely something wrong with the swing mechanics on this game. Shots are unpredictable at best. It lacks some type of swing reference on the screen so you never know how much of a swing to take. Other than that it is still a fun game.

Enjoyable and realistic. Putting us a real challenge, but does not take away from the fun.

Excellent improvement from The Golf Club 1. Harder, but better game play and ball response. Addictive fun. Most realistic and best golf game out there.
