I'm having trouble staying in CC-D because I cannot figure out how to keep the ball on the greens and what some fairway bounces will be. I shot 59's in practice with fast/firm but only finished -14 in the tournament with firmness on the highest setting. I had balls going off the green when they landed center green. If I try higher approaches I end up with short shots.

Unfortunally there is not so much to say to help you..is something you should learn play by play, developing some kind of feeling that finally will help to understand, looking the slope, the wind and..everything, in short, to select the proper club and shot accordingly. This week course on cc-pro, actually, offers a lot of situations in which the club selection can make a difference of dozen of yards..and with no need to use very firm surfaces  Anyway..probably this is one of the nuances of the game more subtle to understand and to master. Don't worry if it requires time. Maybe, the only practice advice i could ever give to you, is to play a practice round before every TGCTours round, using the setting you'll encounter on every round, especially wheb the setup is a bit extreme and you never played the course in that way. Take also some note on paper about every difficult situation and use it as a future referring point. Is a bit annoying, i know it, but sometimes it could be incredibly helpful. |

Unfortunately with most fictional courses designers have a tendency to create greens that slope from front to back. This is unrealistic in real golf especially when a long iron is needed to reach the green.
What I do is always look at the overhead view of the green to verify the slopes and plan my shot accordingly.
You definitely need to play your non Society rounds on very firm greens so you learn to land the ball short of the pin and play for some roll.
Another option is to play a practice round on the TGCTour course before the tournament and set the greens to the fastest and firmest settings.

If you post a video of your round on twitch or you tube I’ll have a look at it and try to help.

Pros or Masters ? That is one of the aspects that seems to differ between them as well as the length.
Use the loft box to get as much spin on your longer shots, as well.
Use the shortest club that will get you to your landing target and hit it hard.
I agree that using the box is sort of 'a designers cheat' in the fade/draw area, but lofting/delofting a club is a standard practice IRL.
Land more shots just short of the green to kill some speed on their roll-out.
As for 'sloping way' greens, in-game play is pretty easy, and if you don't give a challenge like that now & again, par as a target becomes a joke.
I, as a designer, don't like that. "Par" should be what MOST people will score on a hole with reasonable play.
There's no real secret, of course - like the others say - practice.

Pretty easy? I'm on XB1 and sometimes I can't keep from getting demoted just because of the random tempo issues. What was the correct putting to shoot -20 last week through 2 rounds got me -11 through two this week. It feels like I play against the controls rather than my own skill. Easy courses can cause problems too, last week I shot a -39 and still got 3 red marks.
