    Check out the video ks-man did of Teton Pines. It looks WAY better than those flybys, at least IMO. It just seems the resolution in the videos is pretty low even though it says HD. Besides, a single hole flyby doesn't tell you much. It would be nice to see some rounds played on these courses.

        For all those putting in for the GCQuad and getting software, I sure hope they get the ability to chose the 5 courses. It is a lot of money to spend to no be allowed to chose which 5 courses you want to start with. If they want to sell more, they should at least be packaging it with their best sellers!

        No particular course. On fence. For me, although I have strong wifi connection, I like plug and play and courses on hard memory. I was hoping the graphics perhaps were more realistic. I am surprised they did not use the graphics engine used for Creative Golf.

      I use a touch screen monitor too, and you're right.
      Being able to point and where you want to aim on the minimap, and checking stats etc works really well. I rarely use a keyboard / mouse when playing FSX.

        Hey Ryan5508
        Have you received your 5 free courses yet? It's taken Foresight well over a week since I got FSX and I still don't have them. What the heck?

            Just finished installing FSX and I only have Teton Pines. Sent out an email and hopefully I can get that sorted out before my gc2 arrives next week.

          I'm working on a list of the current FSX courses that maybe useful for folks trying to decide on what coursed to get. I pulled some of this info from sites on the web and some I put together by myself. I'd like to add videos of folks playing the courses as they develop. I put ks-mans down under teton pines as an example. I still have quite a few to get through but thought I'd throw up a sample in case you guys have some ideas for improvement. Let me know what you think. This might be good as a sticky that can be updated over time.

            From what I've read on here Cog Hill, Merion and Olympic seem very popular.

            From the 2016 catalogue, which of the courses are the "MUST HAVE" that you find yourself playing the most? Need to come up with my 5 by today if possible.

              Get Couer D' Alene, Nine Lakes, Cog HIll, Wentworth West and I would choose Olympic by a very slim margin over Merion.

                    Seems like all the courses ever offered are on the download page which makes sense. It's just not on the course selection list my rep sent me. It's also not on the flyby list on their site, not that all the courses are on there anyway. It's weird how some courses come and go.

                      use foresightsports.com/updtates to see the courses they currently offer. Not all are on the course flyby.

                        /updates..............sorry
                        I saw that they had a Westchester Hills on there, but quickly took it off. Kind of like Doral and Pelican Hills

                          Yep, what is interesting is the course list from the rep lists Doral and Pelican but they are "out". No, westchester though.
