[Foxycuts5]

We used to play the magnolia national par 3 and magnolia national 2016 quite a bit on TGC....are these not available on TGC2019? What's the best courses? Par 3 courses as well

[Cubsmjy]

Great question...following!

[Duggie]

Is the masters par 3 on TGC 2019? cheers

[cooke23]

Look up courses by Friendbomber. Cabot Cliffs is awesome. MTHUNT did a Muirfield that is pretty good too.
I like my Harvester and TPC deere run course. I’m sure a bunch more out there.

[kchogan]

Harvester is done perfectly. Very nice work!

[mthunt]

There are so many. It's tough to answer. Here's a list of some of the best IMO
-Cabot
-Royal Portrush
-Magnolia National if you can find a version (Augusta)
-TPC Sawgrass
-Lahinch
-Pebble Beach

Magnolia is all of a sudden a bad word in TGC. THe courses are there but they are called ******** National now

Is there a way to search for the courses still?

[mthunt]

Is there a way to search for the courses still?

I don’t think so but if you or a friend have it favourited or it’s in your played list you can play it and favourite it. Once favourited you can play it. Sad and strange.

[mthunt]

Old Head and Muirfield on this list are not good. Just an FYI

[Lynchdpm]

Thanks for taking the time to compile this list and share. TGC19 is fantastic but its search feature still needs work

[trhuke]

Search is much worse than the last TGC IMO. Still a great sim but the weird search is one of the annoying features.
