Early on in development we knew we wanted to make cross-platform sharing a reality. We knew that players across different systems would want access to the same great library of courses as everyone else. Making courses available to everyone regardless of their chosen system seemed like the best way for everyone to get the most out of The Golf Club.It's official - #TheGolfClub will share all user-created courses across all platforms!

The challenge was always that in the past, restrictions surrounding sharing of content between different sets of users were quite strict, and we knew that we’d require a waiver in order to make it a reality. Well, after much discussion with the relevant parties – we can happily announce that cross-platform sharing will be present in The Golf Club at launch.
Users of any platform can play and download the courses from any other platform!
When you create and publish a course it will immediately be available to all members of The Golf Club regardless of the system you’re playing on. There are no special steps either as the person creating the course or downloading courses. They will simply appear in the list in the exact same way as any other course!
The only difference is that names of the creators of courses not native to your current platform will be displayed as “TGC Member” – this is to conform to a number of privacy and parental control regulations on the various platforms.
More info available at their official site.
That will be very handy considering the PC has a head start.
Good to hear, Trials Fusion has been doing this for select "high rated" user tracks across the PS4/XB1/PC.
While we don't have an official release date yet, we have narrowed it down to a likely two week period.
The Golf Club will likely be released and Xbox One, Playstation 4, and PC the week of August 25th! There is a small possibility that the game will be released the week of August 18th, if Microsoft and Sony are able to push it through but, the more likely scenario is the week of the 25th.
Please understand that this is all predicated on the notion that the second submission goes smoothly, but we are confident that the game is in good shape. That being said, there is a possibility that things could change...though we all hope not!

The Golf Club is set to tee off for Xbox One and PC on August 19th for $34.99. The PlayStation 4 version arrives later this month, pending certification approval.
Console Specs

The PlayStation 4 will be running at 1080p with framerates of 30-40 fps. The Xbox One will be running at 720p with framerates from 30-45 fps (possibly a bit higher). Both will have the graphical equivalent of the ‘High’ settings seen in Early Access on the PC.
Allow me to address some questions from the get go: The reason the game is 720p on the Xbox One is simple - we couldn't get the framerates we wanted at higher resolutions.

Happy birthday to me!
Finally! Madden, SS First Light and this on the same day.
VERY VERY COOL! Tuesday is looking to be a great day!
I told my buddy about this game, if all goes well I'm going to try and use the course designer and make my home course, Briarcrest Country Club.
The xbox1 version doesn't fair so well on metacritic http://www.metacritic.com/game/xbox-one/the-golf-club
User reviews are horrible. Sounds like they released an unfinished product. I think I'm going to stay away, especially at $35.
Imagine that
I have been on pc with this game and LOVE it! Most of these "reviews" seem to me to be from folks that have not played the game. I am aware of issues at launch with the XB1 but have heard that they are much better now. I look so forward to this bargain tomorrow and hope to play with many of you again :up:Quote:

I didn't know it wouldn't have a career mode, but if it's a good golf sim I'm still interested...just hope the PSN will be up so I can purchase it.
As it currently stands it does not, however this group does not intend to issue the game every year but instead will add and support for the life of the platform...........so instead of paying for courses (again) you bought last year for example you could choose to buy a "career mode" if/when it became available.Quote:
