2K and HB Studio’s upcoming PGA Tour 2K23 will feature the ability to create your own golf course, just like its previous entry. It’s a powerful tool that lets players create custom courses of their dreams, with nearly 300,000 coursed made for PGA Tour 2K21 (the previous game- the series was on hiatus last year).

As you would expect, there are a few improvements made to the Course Designer to make the process more usable than before which include the following:

• Interface has been overhauled to provide smoother access to all design tools
• New cursor selection offers easier access to objects on the course
• New spline tool streamlines the process of creating walls and fences, including on sloped terrain, improving on the previous tool that was used for surfaces and bulk-planting trees, flowers, and natural elements
• Majority of trees previously featured in PGA Tour 2K21 have been updated or rebuilt from scratch to improve the visual quality, and a variety of new trees, including arborvitae and dogwood, and an assortment of twelve new flowers including dahlias, geraniums, poinsettias, poppies, roses, and more have been introduced to deck out custom courses

Also, 2K are also highlighting some of the best custom courses by including player-created courses in PGA Tour 2K23 at launch. The featured content creators and their custom courses are as follows:

• ArcticFury – Craggy Heights, Sherwood Shores and the Training Facility
• b101design – Lachlan Crossing and Emery Beach Club
• Crazycanuck1985 – Old Marina Golf Club and Echo Park Golf Club
• Energ1ser – Lone Grove Golf Course and Jacobson Homestead
• Mattf27 – Foxholm Golf Links and Chestnut Hollow
• VctryLnSprts – PotHole Lake Golf Club and HuckleBerry Country Club

PGA Tour 2K23 is set up to be improving on the previous game’s already solid gameplay, though not in a major way. You can find what we thought of the game in our hands-on impressions here.
