* Season Mode
* Tropical Theme
* Small optimisations

There will be another huge update later in the week that will give you everything planned for the May update. Keep an eye out for this

Below is a summary of a post on our website detailing Feature Update 2.0

Please see the full article[thegolfclubgame.com] for a list of most of the 282 bugs addressed.

"We are delighted to announce that Feature Update 2 will be available later today, probably at around 9pm GMT, 4pm PT. It is the second update for The Golf Club and we hope all the members out there enjoy what it brings to the game. We are incredibly proud of what we have achieved so far and this update only serves to enhance that feeling within the studio. We have confidence that the Handicap System will add a positive new dimension to the game and for those that aren’t too keen on Handicaps there is always the option to play rounds and tournaments and follow leaderboards that don’t involve the handicap system. We are also really pleased with the Countryside Theme and can’t wait to see what you can create with it. And this is all for free!
