I've been looking for a great golf game on PC for awhile but the options seem so limited for the last several years at least. Any thoughts on Perfect Golf, or other recommendations?

Perfect Parallel, the creators of Jack Nicklaus Perfect Golf (PC/Steam), have announced their tentative plans to release a new Windows 10/XBox One cross-playable version of the game in the first quarter of 2017. I own the PC/Steam version of the current Perfect Golf game, but it's built to be reliant on DirectX 9. While it's a fun to play, fairly realistic golf game, it looks a bit dated because of its subservience to DirectX 9.
The Windows 10/XBox One version is being upgraded to DirectX 11/12 standards, and will utilize Unity 5.5's SpeedTree GPU instancing technology to attain frame rates that double those of the current version. It will also utilize NVIDIA's new Turf Effects technology to render 3-D rough grasses in multi-shaded textures. The Windows 10/XBox One version of JNPG will also be the first version to offer an offline career mode.
If you're a current or prospective buyer of an XBox One and a fan of video game golf, is Perfect Golf a title in which you'd likely be interested? It'll be a day one buy for me, even though I'll also be buying the Windows 10 PC version, which will probably launch at the same time. I'm a golf game zealot though, so I'd like to read some opinions of others who aren't as obsessed with them as me.
Copied from a post John Houck made:
Disc Golf Public Meeting Tuesday, February 20th at 6pm, Oak Point Nature and Retreat Center
We are consulting with a firm hired by the City of Plano to create a master plan for the Los Rios golf course property. The decision to include disc golf and all other activities will be made solely by public input. If more people show up for certain activities, then that activity will be offered in the park.
This means we need disc golfers to show up and support a HouckDesign 36-hole championship course. This is the first of maybe 2-3 meetings, and they are studying representation at each meeting. We need people from Plano and surrounding areas.
I appreciate those who want to go out there and ask the City for disc golf.
Thanks, John
The first meeting details are on this link.
