I scoured the available video game golf titles online today, and none of them seem to include Augusta as one of the available courses except partially in Nicklaus. Most of them seem to feature the same limited group of courses, Pebble Beach, St. Andrews, Sawgrass with a smattering of lesser-known and fictional courses. Does anyone know of a video game that includes Augusta and maybe some other less-represented but well-known golf courses?

The upcoming PGA 15 game doesn’t include Augusta, but they are supposedly trying to address the boring, same ol’ courses complaint by including a lot more “out there” courses.

And it is rumored they will try to resecure rights to Augusta and release it as DLC later.

[Tiger Woods 14](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiger_Woods_PGA_Tour_14) actually included Augusta. It also includes historical tournaments and golfers and simulates the physics and equipment from different eras of golf. If you like pro golf, it looks like that might be the most complete package. It is a console-only title. If you don’t have a PS3 or Xbox 360, Tiger Worlds PGA Tour 12 is the most recent PC game to include Augusta.
