When I was a university student I remember virtual reality Golf parlors to be the latest fad. So, during their lunch hour, executives would swing their irons in front of projection screens in order for them to improve their weekend play. Now, more than a decade later, the same experience can be reproduced in our living room.
FINALLY, A SHOT AT THE COVETED GREEN JACKET!
The game includes numerous golf courses, including (finally) the... sanctum sanctorum, the Augusta National Golf Club, where The Masters take place.
Appropriately, the career mod has been renamed "The Road to the Masters". You start low, aiming high and by either the hard way (working your way up the Amateur ladder) or the shortcut (duplicating 3 -out of possible 9- of either Tiger Woods's or Jacks Nicklaus' Moments) you can get invited to The Masters.
Once you get there though, will you be good enough to be fitted with the Green Jacket?
IT IS NOT REALLY A GOLF GAME WITHOUT A CADDIE, IS IT?
A caddie is much more than a golf-club carrier. He or she is actually a teammate and that is why a good caddie will make the difference between winning and losing.
You can option out of the caddie advice on clubs, power and path to follow - but I would not advise it, at least not for beginners.
HAVE Balance Board WILL GOLF BETTER
Now that both the Xbox and the PS3 have their own versions of the Wii remote (whereas, at the same time, enjoy higher resolution graphics), why should one buy this game on the Wii?
Well, for two reasons. First, the Wii version of the game comes with 25 courses (almost twice as many as in the Xbox/PS3 versions) as the Wii, thankfully, is not DLC-friendly. And if that were not important enough, the Wii has a clear edge when it comes to the actual gameplay as well: standing on the Balance Board will check (and correct) your swinging posture!
Keeping your eyes on the (imaginary) ball and then swinging your MotionPlus! remote works like a charm - once you get the hang of the physical movement/on screen mechanics.
Now, you could play the game from your couch (by attaching the nunchuck extension), but I think that misses the whole point of a golf simulator, does it not?
PRESSED FOR TIME? TRY ONE OF THE MINI GAMES!
Tired of the pressure of getting invited to the Masters? Not to worry, the game includes a number of fun mini-games, such as Mini Golf, Disc/Frisbee Golf, Practice Facility and Golf Party.
Overall, this is a great Golfing game, a game that fits the Wii capabilities like a glove and one I greatly enjoyed!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

A great game. Very challenging. The new courses are very good. The only course I do not like is the Predator.Not realistic.

3.0 out of 5 stars
TW PGA Tour 11 was more fun. More flexibility regarding characters creation ( although more proportionate in The Masters version )and using attributes points or buying stuff at pro shop. Narration & or comments by commentators were more lively and at some point comical, on Masters version it is redundant and somewhat dull, and some observations by same commentator are not accurate ( states that you are in a bunker when you are in fairway). In Masters version there are some glitches at times : Targets are not present on some elevations, Caddy's suggestions to be used with caution 'cause some advices are not ''up to par'' and you are tempted to use ''his'' help to much which renders the play less challenging. Atmosphere is less lively, sound of nature not present on some courses. None the less The Masters is a good game, more courses = more challenges. Nice interesting party games and driving range. Maybe if it would have been my first purchase my opinion would be different....
