WGT Golf review

WGT Golf is the realism and computer pick. World Golf Tour describes it as a full golf simulation built with GPS and 3D technology, with over 20 famous courses including Pebble Beach, St Andrews, Pinehurst No. 2, Oakmont and Bandon Dunes. Rounds are 18-hole stroke play, and you can compete head to head, join one of thousands of country clubs or enter tournaments. The Pro Shop sells virtual clubs and balls from real brands such as Callaway, Titleist, TaylorMade and Ping. It is the only game here that WGT documents on Windows and Mac as well as iOS, Android and Amazon devices; its help page lists 4GB of RAM for Windows and Mac. Ratings are good but not top: 4.5 out of 5 on the US App Store and 4.0 stars on Google Play, with 10M+ downloads. Full rounds take longer than the duel games above, which costs it on ease of setup.
