GOLF+ has added the Payne's Valley golf course to its platform, marking the first installment of a five-course series set at Big Cedar Lodge in Missouri. Designed by Tiger Woods, the new course is available for $11.99.
Why it matters
The addition of professional-grade course design strengthens the platform's realism for players seeking authentic virtual golf experiences. The expansion represents a broader effort to build a comprehensive digital library of notable golf locations.
The new Payne's Valley course is priced at $11.99, joining the base game which features three original courses for a $29.99 purchase price on Quest. Users can also access content via a GOLF+ Pass for $9.99 monthly or $99.99 annually.
