List of DLC courses.

[Seymour Scagnetti]

In case you haven't seen the list here it is.

1.The Els Club (New)
2.Greek Isles (New) (Fantasy Course)
3.Bethpage Black
4.Turnberry
5.TPC Boston
6.TPC Doral
7.Harbour Town
8.Banff Springs
9.Sheshan
10.Oakmont
11.Pinehurst
12.Riviera
13.Hazeltine
14.Wolf Creek
15.Torrey Pines
16.Blackwolf Run
17.Spyglass Hill
18.Predator (Fantasy Course)
19.Highlands (Fantasy Course)
20.Emerald Dragon (Fantasy Course)

Now here is what one of the devs on the EA board says are the parameters of what flexibility you have with them.

"Actually, yes there are 25 weeks. But no you don't switch 4 of the weeks to dlc courses. 19 of the events are from on disk courses each year. 6 events are dlc courses. 2 of the DLC events are the same course every year (Els Club and Greek Isles: These are the 2 new courses available in DLC) The other 4 DLC events are on a rotation of courses."

Somewhat of a letdown in that the flexibility isn't there and not what I envisioned. I'm not sure whether those 4 rotational courses means that all tourneys are preset which means that if you want to play all 25 weeks in season mode every year then you have to pretty much buy all the DLC or the ones you don't have will have to be skipped since the specific DL course set for that tourney will then be unplayable until you buy the course. Not too happy that at least one tourney (most likely 2) will be on a fantasy course.

If you don't want to shell out the bucks for any DLC then you only get a 19 week season as compared to 21 last year.

For those who want to buy all of them the least that EA can do is have all of them available right away and hopefully at a much better price than last year and without any bugs like apparently Cog Hill which was missing a pin hole and was never fixed.

Re: List of DLC courses.

I hate that Bay Hill is not on the list. I guess it's a license thing but it was only in the game for 2 years. I use to go to that event every yearend it was the only course in the game that I have actually walked.

This is an expensive game if all the courses cost $5 again. That's $85 for just the real courses (I'll never pay extra for those fake courses, hate fantasy courses) plus the $60 to buy the game. $145 WOW. They better have some deals.

Don't like the fantasy courses being included in the PGA season, EA just refuses to make a realistic golf.

Re: List of DLC courses.

Hopefully they have those 3 packs available to make it a little cheaper. Turnberry and Bethpage will probably be standalone as they were pre-order courses as well as the Els Club since it's new and can be used every year and just by that very fact will probably be more expensive than $5.

Still pisses me off that they finally institute courses in career mode and for most of them you will only be able to play them every 3 or 4 years in career mode. There should be full customization of the season for what you have to pay to get all the courses.

Re: List of DLC courses.

Greek Isles is a fantasy course and it is in the season for PGA? I'm I the only one that thinks that is odd?

In real golf it's odd, for EA it's normal.

Bay Hill has been in TW for years, not just two. I am sure it is due to a license lapsing or some other reason.

Still don't know why they dont add the Bethesda Maryland course that Tiger had been holding his tournament at.

Re: List of DLC courses.

Why isn't Waialae on that list?

They have showed the "Hawaii Open" as being played there and I am fairly certain that it is not a course that is included on disk.

Re: List of DLC courses.

THanks for posting this, Seymour! Overall a nice list of courses...but man...I REALLY loaded up on the DLC courses last year too. It still remains to be seen exactly how the game in general will turn out, but I'll probably be getting it on launch and give it a very fair shake before deciding if it goes back or not.

Tiger 11 is still on my shelf in that event, which IMO is the best console golf game ever. But if Tiger 12 rises to the occasion this year (TrueAim is CRITICAL on this), I'll be happy to stock it with courses that will show up in my career. Like Seymour says, I'd prefer that I could integrate courses to my whim rather that a rotation, but at least we're making headway.

Re: List of DLC courses.

HANDSWARD (a dev on the game) posted the following on the EA forums, a little more clarity about how DLC is used in offline career mode:

The Majors do not rotate like they do in real life. I agree that it would be a cool feature but, there are in-game achievements and objectives tied to major championships in career. This means that we cannot use DLC courses for those events. The DLC in career does not have any unlocks, achievements or objectives tied to them. They also have the smallest points structure when it comes to the EA SPORTS Rankings and FedEx Cup points system.

To answer another question I saw in another thread...... the rotating DLC events are at set courses each year. You do not get to set up your rotation. I can't remember off the top of my head what order is in place for these events, but I can tell you that one of them is specific to Fantasy courses. It comes at the end of the season after the Tour Championship.

Big letdown IMO, this is not what most people were hopping for IMO. I just can't believe they can't figure out a way for you to be able to customize your season more then this, seems like this was a last second toss in feature to shut some people up.

Yikes.

20 DLC courses; that's gonna be expensive.

Congressional: home to the ATT National (Tiger's tourney) and this year's US Open. Odd that it's not in the game.

Re: List of DLC courses.

Aside from greek isles and emerald dragon what three courses will be included in the collectors edition?
