DLC Recommendations

[mcmax3000]

I'm getting close to finishing the mastery goals for my first DLC course (Banff Springs) & I was wondering what recommendations people have as to which course is worth spending coins on next?

I'm only casually familiar with the other courses being offered so I'm not really sure what ones are worth the effort.

(P.S. I have the Collector's Edition so I don't need to unlock any of those courses but recommendations for those might still be useful to others who look at this thread)

Re: DLC Recommendations

I am curious about others recommendations as well. I have some xbox points to use and just want some suggestions about the other courses. I also have the Masters edition. I am thinking about getting one of the fantasy courses. Just something different

Re: DLC Recommendations

Don't know about the quality but wouldn't think you could ever go wrong with Spyglass. It'll be the first one I go after.

Re: DLC Recommendations

This is my ranking for what its worth.


Spyglass Hill-great challenging course with lots of different elevations. Must have.

Atlanta Athletic club- even more challenging than above with tough water holes. Another must have.

River course at Blackwolf - great combination of scenery and difficulty and almost as challenging as the 2 above. A good 3rd choice after the above 2.

Banff Springs- beautiful scenic course but on the easy side.

Wailiee- about on the same level of difficulty as Banff except with palm trees instead of mountains.

Costa Navarino- another beautiful course that's about the same level of difficulty like the 2 above that's along the Medditerean Sea. Had alot of carnival pins last year so buyer beware.

TPC San Antonio - pretty ugly course with alot of similar holes but on the harder side. One of the last ones I would choose. There's just nothing memorable about it.

Liberty National- I just hate this course. Ugly, easy and looks like some inner city public course which i think it is. Definately the last course I would take. I might even take a fantasy course over this one.

Fantasy courses- the less said the better. I'm a sim guy so that these even exist and take up space on EA's development time annoys me.

Re: DLC Recommendations

Thanks for the recommendations.

I agree with your assessment of Banff Springs. It is a little on the easy side but as a Canadian, I've always had a bit of a soft spot for what is usually the only Canadian course that ever makes it into the game.

It definitely sounds like Spyglass is the next best option. I'm just going to play a few more rounds to get enough coins to by three rounds & then I'll give it a shot.

If anyone else has recommendations for myself or anyone else, keep them coming.

Re: DLC Recommendations

I think my favorites of the DLC list are mostly on the list of courses that come with the CE.

I like the PGA National course, Old White TPC, Whistling Straits, Pinehurst and Oakmont. If I didn't have the CE, I'd get those first, since they have hosted majors or, in the case of PGA National and Old White TPC, host a yearly PGA Tour stop (the Honda Classic and the Greenbrier Classic).

I think my first course download will be Spyglass Hill and the others on the list that I want are Blackwolf Run (local course here in Wisconsin) and Atlanta Athletic Club (another major site).

Re: DLC Recommendations

I want the courses with yearly tournaments;

1. The Blue Monster Doral (Cadillac Championship)
2. TPC San Antonio (Valero Texas Open Licensed)
3. Waialea (Sony Open)

LOL, ahhh Seymour....

I pretty much agree with Seymour list and the order of it. I sprung for all of the DLC courses except for Wolf Creek and Emerald.

I was going to buy all the DLC but I'm racking up coins so fast on PS3 that soon enough all the DLC is going to be free for me.

Have to give credit to EA on this one.

No doubt! The coins are a great option this year.

I had been thinking of going with The Blue Monster Doral as my next choice but it's not available yet on 360, which is really annoying since as far as I know, it wasn't a pre-order bonus at any store on 360 (it was the GameStop PS3 pre-order bonus).

Are you sure? I'm on 360 and downloaded Doral from the Marketplace (not from in-game) this past weekend.

Re: DLC Recommendations

Actually now that I played Waialea yesterday I would rank it above Banff because it is tougher than I remembered and the 18th is a nice closing hole. The problem with Banff is that the fairways are as wide as a airport runway.

And Waialea is on discount right now, at least on the PS3. You get six rounds for the price (coins) of three. So if you play well, you can unlock the course for unlimited play in those six rounds.

To be honest with you at the rate I play this game I will own every course that is still available within a month without paying a dime and not needing any special discounts. The coin distribution is pretty damn generous, at least on tourney with no aids. I feel like a bit of an idiot for wasting $20 initially to buy 4 DLC and even buying the collector edition because at most I'll need 3 months at most to buy all the courses that weren't available on the regular edition. I'm willing to bet that the coin earning power will be somewhat lowered for TW14.
