Courses

The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island (host of 2012 PGA Championship)
Crooked Stick Golf Course (host of 2012 BMW Championship)
Valhalla (hosted 2008 Ryder Cup)
Royal County Down (dating from 1889, is one of the oldest golf clubs in Ireland)
Royal Birkdale (9-time host of The Open Championship)

In all there are 22 PGA Tour Golfers, and 16 courses. If you get the Masters Collectors edition, you will also get five bonus courses including the PGA National Course, Pinehurst Resort (No. 2 Course), Oakmont, The Old White TPC, Straits Course at Whistling Straits.

Are you thinking of the Masters Collectors edition at all? What do you think about the course additions?

According to Amazon, the MCEdition is another 20 bucks. Rather steep for just 5 more courses I'd say.

Hook, line and sinker... definitely getting this now!

Actually it's $10 difference.

The regular version is $59.99, and the Master's Collector's edition is $69.99.

The Collector's edition is a good deal IMO. You don't have to worry about getting those courses when EA makes adds a plethora of DLC courses like they usually do.

Oh okay, yeah that's definitely better and worth the extra 10 dollars.

They had me at Valhalla. Been waiting for that one.

It's also worth noting Rory McIlroy and Luke Donald are both returning to the game. They aren't new to the series, but they weren't in last year's game. Those two are two of the best in the game for sure! As an Oklahoma State fan, having Fowler and now Mahan makes it tough to pass on. And the new courses are very good additions. I'll probably just spend the extra $10 to get the 5 additional courses and the green jacket ceremony. ;-)

Agreed. I'm pretty excited about Valhalla. I wasn't really planning on getting this game, but that course definitely will make me consider it. I love that course. It's a really fun course to play.

I am genuinely shocked thay are giving us 5 real course this time instead of the cheezy fantasy courses. Of course let's wait until they offer DLC and see if they try and bundle them with the other courses and still force you to buy it.

When they say 5 new courses does that mean they are replacing 5 courses from last year or they are increasing the DLC and all of last year's courses are still available?

I voted against buying the game this year in the poll, but now i'll be buying it. Also, i look like Ben Crane, so that's another reason i'll be making the purchase.

Dang no Harbour Town, my alltime fav.

[DivotMaker]

Re: EA Unveils 5 New Golfers, 5 New Courses for Tiger Woods 13

Agreed, hate to see that one go. Wish they would can all of those ridiculous fantasy courses and replace them with actual GOLF courses....but you would be shocked at how many of the casual/arcade users beg for and buy those courses....

Re: EA Unveils 5 New Golfers, 5 New Courses for Tiger Woods 13

This is as impressive a course list as I've ever seen in the series! I've longed for The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island for years, and I certainly wasn't expecting Royal Birkdale, which I loved on the earlier PS2 versions. All of the new courses are way up on my chart!! I'm just pleasantly tickled that they aren't forcing fantasy courses down our throats in the regular or Collector's Edition!

[supermanemblem]

I wish they would add a course editor and 3D. The course editor would extend the life of the game.
