Despite a few notable missing features and courses, PGA 2K21 is as good as virtual golf gets at this very moment. Drive for show, putt for dough in this cracking sports title.

PGA Tour 2K21 is by far the best golf game ever and easily one of the best, most polished and competent games released in 2020.

Did PGA Tour 2K21 manage to win me over and convert me into a golf fan? The answer is a simple "nope, it did not". If you’re not already a fan of golf, this game won’t be convincing you otherwise anytime soon.

PGA Tour 2K21 is an excellent golf sim. I would like to have seen more official courses on display, but with the course designer, the likelihood is that some kind soul will rectify that before the week is out. The gameplay is on point and both career and online modes will keep you entertained for months. This is the best representation of golf on current gen systems.

PGA Tour 2K21 is a well-made golf game that features a ton of gameplay options for its audience. Being able to choose through a large list of options to fully tailor your type of gameplay is incredible. However, I feel like it can’t decide whether it wants to dip more into arcade territory or just remain as a simulator. I hope they will find a way to cater to both eventually, but this is a big step in the right direction.

Overall, it’s nice to have a game that actually features PGA branding and gives players of all skill levels a fun, realistic experience. Add that to the fact that players have access to thousands of custom courses and you have a game that you can play endlessly for years to come. If you’re looking for a new golf game, PGA Tour 2K21 should still satiate that need.

As someone who didn’t know much about golf and expected this to be a boring experience, PGA Tour 2K21 surprised me on so many levels and became a very thrilling experience.

PGA Tour 2K21 is far from perfect. Compared to other sports games, the game is not very nicely finished and the diversity in terms of modes is also somewhat meager. It's a shame that this MyCareer mode hasn't received the same attention as, say, that of NBA 2K. Perhaps that is still a bridge too far, but it could have had a little more gravy. It is also a shame that the world looks a bit clinical. The wind has little effect on the environment itself and the NPCs also look somewhat lifeless. The commentary, on the other hand, is well done and the golf itself is also very well put together. After a few holes, you will no longer notice the above misses and you will appreciate the depth of the game. The controls, customization and the tracks themselves have received a lot of love and attention. Golf enthusiasts will certainly appreciate the game and new players will also be lucky, because the game is very accessible. However, if you have nothing to do with golf, then logically you will not get much pleasure from PGA Tour 2K21.

PGA Tour 2K21 delivers a great golfing gameplay experience throughout. The nuanced aspects of the challenging career gameplay as well as multiple gameplay modes and the strong golf course designer means that players can easily spend hours and hours playing the game.

Perfecting its swing and aiming for the green, while not necessarily a hole-in-one, but landing a nice double eagle for its first franchise entry in the esteemed 2K Sports collection, PGA 2K21 shows immediate promise in this renaissance for golf gamers.

PGA Tour 2K21 is, in its core, a great golfing simulator. However, the career mode doesn't really offer much motivation aside from the enjoyment from playing.

PGA TOUR 2K21 might not have the most “involving” career mode, but it more than makes up for it with easing up on the difficulty curve, a fantastic golf course editor, a multitude of maps and a greatly improved multiplayer. A must have for golf fans.

PGA Tour 2K21 is a solid golf simulation with good customization features and good multiplayer, but graphics are just fine and golfers aren't too differentiated.

This has been a weird year in general and for sports in particular, but PGA Tour 2K21 is a perfect reprieve from all of that. The PGA license is put to good use and the authentic presentation help to round out what was already a great core system. The Golf Club lives on in PGA Tour 2K21, and is a game golf fans are going to want to get their hands on.

2K have completely rejuvenated video game golf. Not just that, they’ve published a great video game that I am having so much fun with. More than I ever expected to. I can’t speak for someone who advocates for and regularly watches golf, but what I can say is PGA Tour 2K21 has done more to get me interested in the sport than I ever have been. I cannot wait to see how HB Studios and 2K keep building and growing PGA 2K for the next generation and years ahead.
