The Golf Club bringing procedurally-generated golf to PC, Xbox One, and PS4
HB Studios has stuck its fingers into many sporting pies over the years, often pitching in with EA series including Madden NFL and FIFA, and is now preparing to tee off with a sport 'em up of its own. The developer today announced The Golf Club for PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4. Intriguingly, it'll procedurally generate its courses, to always offer something new.

You can play the modern version of Links at home if you have thousands of dollars to blow on a simulator setup http://www.trugolf.com/golf_simulator/company/
The software already runs on any windows PC, you can even download a demo of E6 from there but you can actually play a ball without a device that captures swing data. Would be great if they would make and release a version you can play with standard input devices. They probably have the money and still have know-how.

That would be nice. The one thing I want to see in any new golf game is the ability to set my own club distances like the later versions of PC Links to match my real game. I do not want to become an inevitable golf god like the TW xp systems and stat increases, driving the ball 400+ yards, never missing a green or putt, etc.

That's what they're doing: Users will be able to play the created courses that others have uploaded, and because The Golf Club saves every round you play in the cloud, players can compete with friends who are offline by playing against "ghost" balls.
So maybe no traditional multiplayer?
