Golf 5 eClub transports you into a world where you can play golf day or night, right from the comfort of your living room! Welcome to a realm of perfect swings, challenging gameplay, and the thrill of a masterful round of golf – all within the boundaries of your virtual reality headset. Let’s get stuck into this review of Golf 5 eClub and find out if it’s the VR Golf game you’ve been waiting for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Golf 5 eClub offers a well-crafted and authentic VR golf experience with various game modes, well-designed courses, and realistic gameplay, although there are significant areas that need improvement. It faces stiff competition from similar games like Golf Plus, but it’s a genuine contender for the crown of best VR golf game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Golf 5 eClub Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I’ve spent many hours playing Golf 5 eClub, exploring all of the courses and game modes. I’ve played it on Quest 2, Pico 4, and I’ve also played the new Steam VR release of Golf 5 eClub on HP Reverb G2. I’ve also played pretty much every other VR golf game you can play today, so have a good impression of how it stacks up to the competition. I’ve been playing real-life golf for more than 25 years which has helped me to get a feel for how realistic Golf 5 eClub is to the real thing. I purchased the game myself and this is a completely independent review of my experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, this is a promising VR golf game<\/a><\/strong> that does a lot of things right but has plenty of room for improvement. Golf 5 eClub is my top choice for anyone with a Steam VR or Pico headset, but if you have a Meta headset such as Quest 2 or Quest Pro, you have a difficult decision ahead choosing between Golf 5 eClub and Golf Plus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Golf 5 eClub Courses And Game Modes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Golf 5 eClub offers players a good range of options to practice their game, including three 18-hole courses, a practice range, a putting practice area, Mini-Golf, and a WIPP mode. It has a range of single-player and multiplayer game modes, ensuring that most players are well-catered for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

18-Hole Courses In Golf 5 eClub<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

All three courses are thoughtfully designed to offer a good variety between individual holes and between the courses themselves. Although not based on any real-life courses, they feel authentic and I could imagine playing on any one of these in real life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Dunes:<\/em> The Dunes course is a challenging course that features plenty of sand traps, water hazards, and undulating greens. Designed to test your golfing skills, this course demands precision and strategic planning to navigate its obstacles successfully.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Forest:<\/em> The Forest course offers a more forgiving yet enjoyable experience, set amidst rolling hills and lush greens. The serene environment and picturesque views make it a pleasure to play while still providing a worthy challenge.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Tropical:<\/em> The Tropical course transports players to an idyllic setting, complete with palm trees, waterfalls, and vibrant greens. This visually impressive course provides a challenging test, with tricky greens and plenty of hazards.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    My only criticism of the courses is that some of the slopes on the fairways and greens are more extreme than you will find on most real-world courses, which can result in your ball rolling a long way after landing. It can be a bit frustrating to see your ball roll back down the fairway, or right off the green after hitting a shot that doesn’t quite hit the target. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Additional Practice Modes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    In addition to the three main courses, Golf 5 eClub features several practice modes to help you refine your skills:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
