Well, it appears the first good golf game for PS4 with a proper lobby system is here - and I'm the only bugger on my list playing it.
It plays a good game of golf. Three-button swing system is hardly innovative but additional skills are unlocked the more you play, and even on the beginner course it's easy to go tits-up. I know this. Like previous ones in the series it's no pushover, and I expect it to get trickier a few hours down the line. It's bright, cheerful and just fun to play, and I only have one gripe so far: to unlock more courses you have to grind a few hours on the beginner one. In fact I haven't unlocked any more yet, which is a shame. If there were more variety from the off I'd happily sit and play it longer.
In summary - fun golf, and playable with chums if you have any.

It appears that Clap Hanz haven't made it as easy as it should be to hook up, unless I'm missing something. I made a room when I saw you online but there was no option to invite anyone to it. I think (from a bit of reading round) that you create a room, but then people can join. Invites don't appear to come into it.
So the basic, foolproof 'make a game and invite chums' mechanic perfected decades ago seems to be beyond the capabilities of developers nowadays, since most games seem to want to penalise you for it.

Well, even if what I guess is right it's still possible to group up. If yer on the fence I wouldn't let that put you off. It's still a good game of golf and I'd recommend it.

The graphics in this short clip look shite - downgraded from HDR. I wonder if it looks like this on a standard PS4. I've just had a round on the alpine course in the evening, and the lighting is gorgeous. The game also gets better once you get off the beginner course - because of Destiny 2 I've not been on this as much. I played a round online and didn't see a single other player.

Have you unlocked the Alpina course yet? It's so much better than the beginner one.
