I'm getting ready to create my society's tour championship and I'm looking for good TGC-quality courses based in the Southwestern United States. I would definitely prefer "hardest" or "hard" rated courses, but am willing to consider "medium" as long as it is an outstanding course. Does anyone have any suggestions? Many thanks!

Shameless self-promotion of TGC Tour Worthy courses: Devil's Delta ... Quarry Golf Club SATX (L) ... Golf Club at Texas A&M (L)
Shameless self-promotion of TGC Approved courses: Dragon's Cauldron ... Bluebonnet Country Golf Club ... Lighthouse Lakes (co-design with MannoxR) ... Leyenda (co-design with LOLserver)

If you are referring to the ratings that the game itself assigns to a course, to me that often bears no resemblance to reality. I have played a whole bunch of courses rated "Easy" by the game and they were beasts.

bubbadave: Truthfully. Give me a 170 over a 135 any day. Nov 26, 2024 17:43:11 GMT -5

sroel908: And as someone who's rangered/scheduled hundreds of courses, trying out a wide range of conditions, I can say with certainty that green speeds do have an impact and definitely matter. Nov 18, 2024 15:57:48 GMT -5 *

sroel908: Green firmness is more about how the ball interacts with the putting surface when you hit an approach into it. A soft green is more receptive, and will allow more backspin than a firm one. A firm green will have less bite and more rollout. Nov 18, 2024 15:57:00 GMT -5

meunier33: I have seen 135 greens that putt like they are 170. Therefore, we can conclude that green speed does not matter. Nov 18, 2024 15:31:35 GMT -5

meunier33: Why isn't there a green firmness meter on the score bug? Green firmness matters much more than green speed. Nov 18, 2024 15:28:26 GMT -5

keyan: thanks Nov 17, 2024 18:40:12 GMT -5

keyan: has anyone got any good donald course esque courses Nov 16, 2024 16:48:57 GMT -5

meunier33: I still play this game like it was the game before 2K21. Up until this month I have never tried to change anything about how I play the game. It has made me worse trying to adapt also. Nov 13, 2024 15:23:56 GMT -5

OldManGaming606: The biggest swing adjustment and best for competitive golf IMO, was 2k21 and addition of tempo. Nov 13, 2024 7:31:02 GMT -5

Art Vandelay: each time the game has been issued (TGC, TGC2, TGC19, etc) the game play changes. Some more than others. You have to adapt. Or go away, like some have. Nov 12, 2024 20:16:52 GMT -5

Wutpa: I think a lot of people here have figured out what your problem is, and it's not what you think it is. Nov 12, 2024 15:23:34 GMT -5

meunier33: EG the best swing used to be hard and low and not a high swing like it is now. Nov 12, 2024 14:51:27 GMT -5

meunier33: Im finally figuring out what my problem is though. I play the game like it used to work 4 or 6 years ago and I have trouble adjusting to how it now plays Nov 12, 2024 14:49:57 GMT -5

zooby97: Is that all meunier33 does is COMPLAIN? Will you please ditch the game so I don’t have to see the complaints anymore, wow! Nov 12, 2024 14:06:54 GMT -5

Art Vandelay: Amen prowse00 to that! Nov 11, 2024 11:21:49 GMT -5 *

prowse00: give it a rest Nov 11, 2024 7:49:56 GMT -5
