If you just joined Tekbud, first off, welcome. Second, I know the feeling of opening the library, seeing 100+ courses, and having no idea where to start. So here's the short list I'd hand a friend on their first night on the sim.
Georgia Golf Club is the course that put Tekbud on the map. Meticulous bunkering, lightning-fast greens, and a back nine you'll want to play again the second you finish. If you only play one course your first night, make it this one.

Here's my real advice for a new member: don't just play random rounds. That's how a sim ends up collecting dust. Fire up RISE, our career mode. It hands you a calibrated challenge, you play it like any round, and it tracks how much you're improving over time. It turns "I have 100 courses" into "I have a reason to play tonight."
