Game InformerMatthew KatoAug 20148/10The game's fun to play and the course creator will keep you up nights (in a good way), but it lacks a strong carrot to spur you on

Post Arcade (National Post)Chad SapiehaAug 20148/10With excellent swing mechanics and a terrific golf course design mode, The Golf Club steps into the void created by the 2014 absence of EA's PGA Tour

ExaminerMatt FurtadoAug 20144/5 starsThe Golf Club is par for the course. It's an enjoyable golfing game that lacks in charisma – mainly being character and career progression.

GamesRadar+Dom Reseigh-LincolnSep 20152.5/5 starsIt may simulate golf to a punishing tee and have a course designer-sized trump card, but until it raises its game elsewhere the PGA Tour series is still the king of the fairway.

The Digital FixAndrew PhillipsSep 20145/10Unpolished to the point of seeming unfinished in places, The Golf Club isn't a rival to the EA Sports Tiger Woods franchise but is more of a throwback to the hardcore, simulation days of Links. It will likely find a home with a specific group of players and the course creator will also likely add a ton of replay value for that group. The masses however may be put off by the lack of polish, the lack of progression mechanics and the tricky controls.
