What it is
The Golf Club is HB Studios’ golf simulation, released in 2014. Its course creator generates courses that can be edited, shared and played online, while tournaments and tours add ways to compete. Players can challenge friends in real time or try to beat their recorded rounds, with stats, personal bests, notifications and challenges also listed among its social features. The swing system emphasizes the feel of different shots and taking ball lie, weather and terrain into account. The game supports single-player and multiplayer, and Steam lists a level editor and partial controller support. The store notice says the product will no longer be available for purchase as of 10/30/2024. The Golf Club is listed for Windows, with Simulation and Sports as its Steam genres.

Who it suits
It suits golf-game players who want to create and share courses, edit them, and compete with friends. Its single-player option also accommodates players who want to play alone.
The Golf Club pairs golf play with course creation and social competition. The listed purchase cutoff is an important limitation for anyone looking to acquire it.
