EA Sports PGA Tour’s official release is imminent in the first week of April, and this will be the brand’s first tryst with a golf-themed video game in almost eight years. Naturally, the developers are leaving no stone unturned when it comes to gameplay elements, including the available venues. Fans waiting for the upcoming release will be delighted to learn about the vast number of courses to choose from.
EA Sports will include multiple venues inspired by real-life locations, including the Augusta Nationals. When EA Sports PGA Tour is released later this month, there will be 30 courses to choose from. This includes many real-life venues as well as a couple of fantasy creations. Let’s take a look at the complete list of courses that will be available in the game at launch.
EA Sports PGA Tour’s course options will ensure dynamism and variety for players
No two real-life golf courses are the same, and this will also apply for EA Sports PGA Tour. Thanks to 30 different choices, players will always be looking at fresh challenges every time.

EA Sports will focus on realism
A key element of each EA Sports PGA Tour course will be their rendering in the game. The emphasis is on making their virtual creations as realistic as possible. This includes the course designs and how the textures will appear within the game.
In a previous trailer, the developers discussed the work that has gone into creating these courses:
"Using these technologies, which are actually designed to discover underground gold mines and oil reserves, we achieved pin-point accuracy down to the blade of grass for many courses in-game. We were able to even record the distinct cuts of grass and how the ball behaves on them along with upcoming changes they're making for future seasons to capture a full picture of these courses and how each of them play now and in the future."
Following an initial launch delay, EA Sports PGA Tour will now be released on April 7, 2023. A brief window of early access will be available to owners of the Digital Deluxe Edition. The upcoming title will be available on all major platforms, including the current-gen consoles of both Xbox and PlayStation.
