I agree with all of the pro and con comments made by the other reviewers. This game is an enjoyable alternative to the shooters that are out there. The graphics are great. I had a group over for Labor Day including two avid and excellent golfers, one who had played Pebble Beach. They got into a stroke play game that had the women watching and enjoying.
The game is easy to pick up and learn. Unlike watching golf on TV, you get to follow the trajectory of the ball and see what happened prior to the ball coming down. The career path is fun and pulls you in from the start. In short, the game is well laid out and no where near as complicated to learn as a game such as Madden 09.
I purchased this to have an alternative in my game collection to shooters and something that could be played at gatherings. That meant easy to learn and something watchable to those not directly involved in the game. The game has a good amount of variety to provide a lot of play time. If you measure the value of game by the number of minutes of play time you get from the game without it getting old, you will definitely get your money's worth.

I have been waiting for a golf game that was yet fun, well its here. since the last computer golf game there has not been a good counsel game until now. you will enjoy this game. I just wish I had a fast ISP so I could play online.
Everything that was wrong with 2008 has been corrected. The best Tiger Woods game since 2005. August 31, 2008

After the major disappointment with Tiger Woods 2008 I went back to the 2005 version of the game. 2008 was hard to play and not much fun. But I'm happy to say that the 2009 Tiger Woods game is great. The way it looks, the way it plays is so much better then 2008. I will allow others who are better at writing reviews give the details. I can just say I didn't like 2006 , 2007 or 2008. I did like 2005 and this is better then 2005. A major improvement.
Excellent Game! September 4, 2008

This year's game is improved over 08 in just about every way. The graphics are noticeably better, providing a very immersive experience. I hated the sensitivity of last year's thumb stick; made the game very frustrating. No longer, this year's game handles brilliantly and provides the player with instant feedback when using the thumb stick. The new courses are great; however, the number of courses remains the same as last year. If you like the Tiger Woods golf series you will definitely enjoy this game. Note; I own both the Xbox 360 and PS3 - tried both demos before buying the game and saw no noticeable differences between the two. I favor the PS3 controller and don't worry about running the unit for long periods; therefore I chose the PS3 version of the game.
If you play golf games, buy this October 3, 2008

This game isn't perfect. I have almost played every golf game ever developed, since "Links" (Some of you old timers will know what that is.)
This game is very good. Even though my dude doesn't seem to look like me. (They allow you to add your own face to avitar.) Good mechanics, good graphics, (Of course I play on Playstation Three and have a 50 inch HD TV so I am spoiled. I like the role playing aspect of it and the fact that you can't save your game untill you complete the round. Otherwise of course one could play every hole till the got a birdie and then save and go on to the next hole.(Make sure you allow enough time to finish else you have to replay the whole 18 holes.) I don't think you can go wrong buying this version.
