Please remember that this is an Early Access game – it is NOT a finished product! There are still bugs, missing features and content and more optimizations to be made – but we are working hard to continually update the game and improve the experience! If you’re interested in getting in early and helping shape The Golf Club as a game – then Early Access is for you!
Please note that this process is not for everyone. If you are short of time, a casual player or get frustrated easily then you should NOT get the Early Access version. Please don’t take this as a criticism. We want everyone to have the experience that best suits their needs. Just wait for the full release which will be awesome. The reason for doing an Early Access version is that a lot of people want to get involved, give feedback and help shape the final product.
Right now the full core experience and Course Creator are available – you can create courses, share them, rate them and play locally and online against friends and rivals. Three Themes are available – Alpine, Rural and Autumn – plus all the male characters and 5 official The Golf Club courses. As development progresses, we’ll be adding additional features and refinements leading up to the full release which will include features like Tours and Tournaments.
The full list of features and enhancements that will be added for the full release:
Tournaments – Online and Local
Tours – Online and Local
Female Golfers
Two extra Themes – Desert and Links
More objects, wildlife and buildings for the Course Creator
Twitter Integration
Greater visibility for social features
More HB created (‘official’) courses
More commentary
Localized versions – French, Spanish, German, Portugese, Italian

I played a couple rounds of this last night and it was already quite a bit of fun. It worked quite nicely with an Xbox 360 controller and there is certainly a learning curve. Even at this early stage, it's already off to a good start.
It's also coming to the PS4 and Xbox One platforms.
