And we don't mean licensed in the sense that you can buy an in-game beer at the club after a stint on the front nine. Rather, this is a full list of courses from around the world that have leant their respecive licenses to the game for you to tear up from the comfort of your own home.



Here's the official skinny:

In addition to 17 courses returning from PGA TOUR 2K21, three new courses - the South Course of Wilmington Country Club, The Renaissance Club, and St. George’s Golf and Country Club – round out a full list of 20 courses available at launch to keep players swinging with swag and challenging their crews on a total of 360 unique fairways and dance floors.

In order to create pristine in-game renditions of real-life courses, 2K and HB Studios use a combination of aerial drone footage, lidar data, high resolution photography, and supporting assets provided by each course’s management to ensure each course is true to life and features realistic buildings, signage, hazards, fairways, greens and climate. The process ensures the most authentic PGA TOUR video game experience available to date. Courses such as Riviera Country Club, home of the Genesis Open, which was recently named by PGA TOUR as an elevated tournament for the next season, truly shine, down to the smallest detail.

• Atlantic Beach Country Club;

• Copperhead (Innisbrook);

How the tried, tested and rugged Marrickville Golf Course didn't make the list we'll never know. Maybe someone at 2K needs to go a round with us there to see its worth.
