But when it works, it’s magical! Seeing players enjoy your course makes all the effort worth it.
What are some of the quirkiest custom course names you’ve seen? I think they add so much character!
Haha! I saw one called ‘Goblin’s Glen.’ It had bizarre layout features like gnomes on the greens! Definitely adds a fun twist to the game.
I’ve been really enjoying playing TPC Sawgrass. The 17th hole is just as nerve-wracking as in real life! The accuracy is impressive.
That’s awesome! I’ve found Augusta National to be equally breathtaking. The details in the course are top-notch!
I really like Pebble Beach! The views are stunning, and it feels like you’re actually there—not to mention the waves crashing on the cliffs.
I played Pebble Beach too! The par 3s are a fun challenge. However, I miss the fresh air and the actual ocean breeze sometimes.
I think the comparisons to real-life courses is spot on for many, but some lack the ambient feel of being outdoors. What do you all think?
I agree, but I think it’s still great to experience these iconic courses without the fees!
Has anyone tried the Whistling Straits course? I’ve heard mixed reviews about how it translates from real life into the game.
I played it and found it quite accurate, but I just can’t handle those bunkers! What a workout!

I loved playing St Andrews but missed the actual historical vibe while playing. The real-life charm is a tough act to follow!
That’s the fun and frustration of these games! You get some great simulations like the British Open courses, but it’s hard to capture the real experience.
Agreed! But don’t forget, golfing in your living room is a lot easier on the wallet and the body!
