Welcome back!  Last week we looked at three of the five new courses in the game this year now onto the other two.

A truly classic course located in London, England, The West Course at Wentworth is rich with history and is a place where golf is truly an experience.  It's a venue where the past, present and future come together where classic, timeless golf course design and tournament heritage meets 21st century course conditioning and immaculate playing surfaces.  Designed by famed golf course architect Harry Colt, the West Course measures out to 7,324 yards and plays to a Par 73. 

Very few courses can boast a tournament history on par with the Wentworth's West Course.  The West annually hosts the HSBC World Matchplay and the European TOUR's flagship event, the BMW PGA Championship.  It also hosted a little event known as the Ryder Cup in 1953 and then the Canada Cup in 1956.  Visually it's very pleasing as the stretch of heathland is surrounded by woodland of pine, oak and birch.  The heavily wooded landscape has aesthetic and strategic benefits in the sense that it is both easy on the eye and ideal for creating well-defined hole routings.  World renowned golfer Ernie Els redesigned Wentworth in 2005 and 2007, bringing a classic piece of work into the 21st century.  It is a stern test, but above all a fair test.

Last but certainly not least is one of our truly exotic looking courses that will surely please you as it looks unlike any other course in the game.  Wolf Creek Golf Club is settled in between the mountains in the northeast corner of Mesquite, Nevada in the United States.  The Par 72 layout, playing to 6,939 yards is carved beautifully out of the desert.  Visually, it's absolutely amazing and is sure to overwhelm you with its dazzling beauty and breath-taking views...yes, even in a video game!

With massive amounts of elevation, picking the right club is truly a challenge.  Combine that with hitting drives over and around mountains as well as approaches flirting with luminous running waterfalls and you have a golfing experience like no other.  Wolf Creek, opened in 2000 is an 18-hole roller coaster ride that will test every shot in your bag.

Lush green fairways wind through the rugged desert terrain and elevated tee boxes greet you with immaculate views of the course.  It will not only amaze your eye but it will also challenge your game and I'm guessing will become one of your favorite courses in the game.

So, there it is.  Five new amazing courses for you to play in Tiger Wood PGA TOUR® 09, from classic to exotic, they all look amazing with the new graphics engine. They're sure to provide you with a unique and challenging golf gaming experience.  Good luck and hit'em straight!
