What are the best courses to play in PGA 2K21?

I’m diving into PGA 2K21 and I’m eager to explore the courses available in the game. It seems like there are a ton of official and user-created courses, but I’m a bit overwhelmed with where to start.

Official Courses

What are the standout official PGA Tour courses? I’ve heard some of them are quite realistic and offer a variety of challenges. Do any of you have favorites that really capture the spirit of the game?

User-Created Gems

I’ve also noticed there are a lot of user-generated courses out there. Are there any must-plays that you would recommend? I’m curious about both the design quality and how much fun they are to play. Do any of them stand out in terms of innovation or creativity?

Specific Course Types

Additionally, I’m particularly interested in different types of courses. Are there any great par 3 courses that offer a unique challenge? Getting a bit of variety would be fantastic as I try to improve my skills.

Course Reviews

If you’ve played any specific courses recently, I’d love to hear your thoughts on them! How do they compare to the real-life counterparts? Any insights on the difficulty levels or the features that made a certain course stand out would be really helpful.

Thanks in advance for your recommendations! Looking forward to checking out some awesome courses!

I’ve been really enjoying ‘Pinehurst No. 2’. The design is stunning and the challenges keep me engaged. Highly recommend it!

I loved playing ‘Whistling Straits’! The scenery is breathtaking and offers unique gameplay. Anyone else feel similarly?

I think ‘St. Andrews’ deserves a mention too! The history and layout are absolutely classic, making it a favorite.

I’ve played ‘Whistling Straits’ as well! It’s a masterpiece. How did you find it compared to ‘Pinehurst’?

While I enjoy popular courses, I often look for hidden gems. Any tips on how to find underrated courses in the game?

Try sorting by user ratings in the course creator section! I’ve found some amazing ones that way.

That’s a great tip! I usually check out forums for recommendations too. Anyone have specific course names to suggest?

Don’t forget to check out ‘Augusta National’! Not only famous, but well-crafted in the game.

Ah, Augusta is iconic! I enjoy its challenge but sometimes it drives me nuts. Does it frustrate anyone else sometimes?

I get frustrated sometimes too—like when my putting goes awry! But that’s part of the fun, right?

True, it’s all about the challenge! Ironically, I find the more frustrating courses end up being the most fun in the long run.

If you’re looking for great courses to play in PGA 2K21, I recommend starting with Pebble Beach and TPC Sawgrass. They have a perfect mix of beauty and challenge!

Absolutely! Pebble Beach is a classic, but have you tried out some of the custom courses? There are some incredible designs out there that really test your skills.

Custom courses can be hit or miss, but it’s worth exploring. Some creators really nail the layout and elevation changes, making for a fun challenge.

That’s true! I recently played a course called ‘Mystic Woods’ that had some impressive design elements. It felt like a real golf experience with nature all around!

I’m starting to create my own course! Any tips on judging difficulty? I want to make sure it’s challenging but fair.

Definitely focus on balance! Try varying the hole lengths and angles. A mix of par 3s, 4s, and 5s keeps things interesting.

Has anyone else felt that the course creator tools could be improved? Sometimes it feels a bit clunky, but I love the potential!

I totally agree! Navigating the tools can be tricky at times. It often takes longer than expected to get everything looking right.
