What we have found so far is that the graphics are second to none, coming from EA sports you would expect this. The game however is very slow to load at the beginning and in between shots and whilst the development team are working on the loading times between shots the initial loading time is a little frustrating.

Once in the game, you get a cracking game of golf and you can increase your cash purse amount by playing great shots which can be exchanged for better clubs, more training and your apperance. With 2 courses to play on

1. TPC Sawgrass Ponte Vedra Beach, FL. This daunting Pete Dye course is home to one of the most recognizable holes in golf as well as THE PLAYERS Championship, a coveted title on the PGA TOUR
2. Pebble Beach Golf Links Pebble Beach, CA. Host to four U.S. Open Championships, the exquisite beauty and unique challenge of this heralded golf links has thrilled golfers and spectators alike.
