They're advertising as two, but they are both just 9 holes, so yeah one really.
Though the second 9 holes are a remake of the NES Golf game holes, so there's that.
it doesn't include the courses from Resort?!? kinda gobsmacked by that tbh
Yeah, 18 holes. The classic holes look like shit as well, the trees being a good laugh. Thankfully the game is a lot of fun, just need some more courses.

For those who have played it, does it use the Wii Motion Plus controls, or the original Wii controls like when Wii Sports first launched?
I'm in the group that believes Motion Plus controls actually made the game less fun...

Couldn't find anyone online so I did some training challenge and it's... AMAZING!
Dat use of the GamePad on the ground
This set up works so well in this game, the wiimote is instantly recognized, you can see your club approaching the ball, following your hand twists, it's perfect. I just did 26 meters in the putting challenge if you want to beat that

Found an exploit in this game.
As you hold "A" to take your shot, continuously press "B", and it will keep your shot straight.
This needs to be fixed.

I cannot get over how fucking atrocious the golf looks!
I think wii sports club golf must have the worst graphics I've seen in a game in recent and distant memory, shit even the original wii version didn't look this bad did it?
I am just gobsmacked how terrible this game looks, Nintendo should be ashamed of themselves.
The courses seem to made out of about 10 textures, horrible low res textures, the trees look insanely bad, the grass just looks awful, mii's just appear to hover over the ground, the aliasing is bad, not something I am particuarly sensitive to but when a game looks this basic, one would think decent AA would be possible, the whole things just looks bloody terrible, astonishingly so, it must be the worst looking wii U game to date, every golf game I have ever played looks a country mile better than this, I don't own many but out of the ones I do own: pebble beach golf on the 3do looks better, everybodys golf on the psp looks way better, and they are way way less powerful systems, I won't even bother mentioning current gen golf games, it just beggars belief how they can put this out there, its just incredibly embarrassing.
The ball on the gamepad placed on the floor is a total gimmick too, it serves no purpose whatsoever than to show the lie of the ball, not really that important, and to give visual cues on slice and hook, you can hit the ball without placing the gampad on the floor, I've tried it, I thought it may use the gamepads sensor bar, but it obviously doesn't, the motionplus is broken too, though thats the fault of the technology, watch your club drift and change angles without you moving it at all, seriously why can't they come up with an algorithm to counteract this, I assume its down to the magnonometer?
Anyways there is no way in hell I am stumping up the £8 or £10 to purchase this, it plays well enough, but its fucking golf, pretty hard to make a bad broken casual focuesed version of it.

Looks fine to me. Better than Wii Sports, which is all I was expecting.

About 80% of matches I've played have been decent to good. Haven't played recently.

I had already used a 24 hour free trial for Bowling and Tennis last month. For some reason I'm not getting an option for a 2nd 24 hour free trial after downloading the update (just prompts me to purchase a day or unlimited pass). I've already tried uninstalling and reinstalling all of the Wii Sports Club related files. Anyone have any suggestions?
Ok, I've searched and apparently these are the improvement to Tennis with the last update:
- now when you change side of the racket from left to right or viceversa because the ball is coming to your opposite side, the system won't detect it as a hit anymore as would happened before the update.
- improved netcode (finally!!!)
- now you can set the messages during the match, not only before it as it was in the past.
- improved ball physic.
- more reactive Motion plus detection.
- faster matchmaking (too bad that if you are ranked at the top you can play only against star 7 or better players...).
EDIT:
BTW Jaded was the rainbow bar already there before the update?
I swear it was orange even if you were at level star 10...

Bamco handled the ports. But yeah, they could've done a much better job. They should've used the Nintendo Land engine.

Not sure. Can't remember. I don't think I got to Star 10.

So...ok...uhm...my 17 MONTHS old son forced me to download golf.
I'm not kidding.
I tried the free demo right around Christmas. He saw me playing in that strange way, with the remote pointing downward to the gamepad on the floor. It wanted to fakely mimic me, I gave him a run-out-of-batteries remote and continued playing, with him aside that pointed the remote to the gamepad swinging it around
Yesterday ? used the balance board to check my weight, and he started to look around for the remote. Probably the BB on the floor reminded him about the gamepad on the floor. He moved the gamepad on the floor (scaring me..he's not so "tender" moving objects around...), and was looking for the remote. He even took the TV remote and started to point at the gamepad swinging the remote around. But forced me to give hime the Wii-remote (the golden zelda one). I gave hime, but he wasn't satisfied. He continued to moan at me...
Then I decided to try out if he was really remembering the Golf, but the free trial was expired. So...I purchased it. Luckily the download was super fast, and I was able to start almost immediately. And it definitely was the golf: he started to fakely play it so I even help him in pressing the A button on the Wiimote to swing the ball away and he had so much fun in seeing the ball desappear from the gamepad screen
I'm not kidding.

Been playing Wii Tennis lately, am at level 10. I routinely beat other level 10 players, but there's this one guy who pulls off this shot that I've yet to defend again...
His player closest to the net can somehow slam the ball ridiculously close and tight to the opposite side of the net. I can never get to it. He does it so consistently, that I can't risk hitting/serving the ball to that player. I've tried to emulate it in practice, but no go...someone help.

I asked this when the game was released and was told only the original sport for now. Baseball or boxing will probably be next but yes I really want Archery and Frisbee. Just bring them all out. =) I just remembered how fun wake boarding was as well.

Finding active players on Wii Tennis is getting tougher every week.
Doesn't help that I regularly crush the remaining active players

It's more than a month that I don't play Wii Tennis but we could have a few match during week ends.
EDIT:
But I am a star 10 player, not sure if I can match player with less than star 7 or so...

I'm a 10-star player as well and have been for a while now; I also eat other 10-star players for lunch, man.
Outside of the United States, I predominately play North and South American players. Haven't played anyone from Europe as of yet.

How the hell does Nintendo set up the tennis matches?
Ok, I wait 30 minutes for a single match, can't find any. Star 10 player.
So I get on my GF's mii, and look for matches, and she doesn't wait 3 seconds before finding a match. It was like that for an hour. Hers is a star 2 player.
Now, I thought it was because her mii was a lower-ranked player and she had a larger pool of eligible opponents to play (makes sense that Nintendo doesn't want beginners to be exposed to and then smashed by the top ranked players). But my GF's mii was finding star-10 opponents. Star-10 opponents that I haven't played against in a long time, or have never seen at all. On top of that, she was faced against more female opponents.
Can someone explain what's going on?
