Gilmore would be happy about the course creator.

Though not a secret, it's strange to admit that I'm the golf title expert on GameRevolution. I try to stay calm and quiet about it, but when I first heard of The Golf Club, a title currently in Early Access on Steam, I couldn't help but have a warm, fuzzy feeling in my stomach. The key component of The Golf Club, as Electronic Arts' Tiger Woods franchise still holds the licenses for all of the official tournaments and tours, is its course creations tools, allowing players to craft any course they want.

In a private meeting behind closed doors, the lead designer for HB Studios showed off how extensive its course creator truly is. Though the early build for the PlayStation 4 test kit the developer brought stuttered a bit, a course could still be created in a matter of seconds. A quick selection of the type of course like alpine or rural, the number of holes from 1 to 18, the density of trees, hazard, and water, and the overall course difficulty, and it only takes about a twenty seconds for the program to procedurally generate a course of your liking. And of course, every course created in this way will be unique by design.
