Hey all!
So since I'm a damn swede I have to wait until friday for my copy of the game. That gave me time to get a full overview and a bit more details on the DLC courses that are available on day one. Say what you want about all this, but here are the facts and bundles anyway.
- There are a total of 18 courses available to buy and download.
- That's 324 holes, assuming all courses have the regular 18 holes.
- Some courses are fantasy, some are courses from the real world.
- Most of the courses are 320 points on XBLM to buy, but some are 560 points. There are two bundles with all the courses (more info below).
- No additional achivements are linked to these courses, but they can be played in your career mode.
- The DLC are not "unlocking" courses from your disc, but are actually downloaded to your console.

So there you have it...
18 courses available to download for a total of 4,000 MS points if you want all of them (by getting the two bundles). I'm sorry that I'm not including PSN pricing and stuff, but I imagine it's the same deal over there more or less. There's also the PS3 Collector's Edition, which already include 5 of the DLC courses (pretty sure it's the Birdie Pack that's included). There's no X360 Collector's Edition what I can find.
