Common misconception that golf games aren't taxing on systems because all you have is 1 golfer and a little ball moving compared to shooters/sports games with multiple players and AI moving about.
Truth is rendering a large outdoor environment with swaying trees takes a lot of horsepower to run. Courses, even individual holes are larger than most FPS maps and have hundreds if not thousands of trees. Trees are quite different from static buildings, especially ones that balls can play through or hit and deflect off branches and such.
These EA golf games need to be 60 fps. Sure, golf games are slow paced but the feel seems sluggish at last gen responsiveness. Never understood why they were capped at 30 fps. These games are not demanding. Just a big field with almost zero movement of stuff on screen at any given time.
I'm pretty confident PGA Tour Golf will finally be 60 fps.
The only golf game I ever played and liked was outlaw golf on the original Xbox, I wish they'd make another one of those 
I found this:

And this is with no issues with ESRAM? What the f***'s going on over there.
It's a good question. I know nothing about computers or game development, so PFFFTTTTT.
lol, but off topic. I was a nightclub bouncer years ago and my "callsign" was batman. They even made shirts with our names on them. Fantastic four - tater tot, zeus, spongebob, and batman.
Anyway, I have no idea why this is game runs so crappy. Looks like it should run better on 360 than that.

So if it is 60 during the only moments you are actually playing, who cares if it is not anywhere else. They should lock at 30 outside of swings though.
Anybody else enjoying this game here? It kind of has a cult following on other forums. Ive always been a sucker for a good golf game since Links 386 Pro back in the day, and this game is such a breath of fresh air from other games lately. So relaxing. Even my wife likes to watch me play. Unlimited replayability too with all the user generated courses (over a thousand of them so far, many of which are exact replicas of famous courses). Probably my favorite golf game since Links 2004 for Xbox.
The game is fun and the course creator alone is worth the price if you enjoy something to create. I'm working on my first 2 courses but I'm taking about an hour per hole so it's going to take awhile. You can create something less detailed much quicker. The game does have issues - crashes, stats not tracking, multiplayer is very limited, but the devs promise continued support with patches and additions so it should get better over time. I have it on both consoles and while the PS4 does look better I find myself playing it more on xbox because the controller works better for my swing. YMMV.
