How are there no private matches except non-turn stroke? I mean, you have all these game modes, stroke, match, best ball, alt shot, etc that I love to play. But you don’t offer them in a private match!? Only local or vs cpu ai!? All I want to do is invite my friends to play any of those game modes. Or at the very least give us the option to do turn based stroke. But even that would get boring quick. It make’s absolutely no sense. You call this a next gen game yet it’s basically a single player game. It’s a shame cause me and my buddies have been waiting for this game for years! Thinking we’ll finally be able to play an EA golf game together online. But No. what a let down. Again, it’s just straight up baffling how a next gen game that has online play, doesn’t have any sort of constructed layout for private matches. A real shame.

I can’t believe that’s actually true, brought the game for that exact reason so the wife and I could play against each other at home, spent an hour wasting my time trying to do that yesterday! It’s ridiculous, who can a game not have that option! Not happy!

This has been a topic of discussion since early release. With no release day update to open those modes it makes the game fairly useless in my opinion. Others may think differently

+1This needs to be a priority for the dev team and patched asap.

Attention EA. Not having an option play private matches against my friends online where we get to watch each others shots is beyond belief. Have your developers not spent one minute researching other recent golf games? This is literally the only reason many of us play these games at all. 4 of us purchased your game for the express purpose of playing each other in a private match on either stableford or strikeplay. Watching your mate mess up or hit the shot of the day is the whole point!!How the hell can a next gen game not have this option? How??? It's like a game like gears of war deciding to skip on having a koth mode. Myself and my mates are disgusted and from what I can see so are most of your customers.

Yes I agree!!!! I want to be able to have turned based shots just like local player but online private matches. I want to watch my buddy mess up so I can laugh, and then they can laugh when I mess up! Please update this!

@TeaStone19 To be fair. You should be able to play against your wife locally. But not if your on a separate console.

So it looks like there's been some sort of update to Private Match, instead of just Stroke Play you now have 5 versions of Stroke Play, Normal, Arcade, Pro, Tour & Simulation, still no turn based option which everyone's been asking for & still no other Play modes (like the modes you have in Quick Play) which everyone has also been asking for, nice to know we're all being heard 🙄🙄🙄

I really want to be able to play in a scramble with my friends! Or at least some sort of team based mode!

This gets my vote too.
For the last few years I have been playing golf with my cousin (on PC) every weekend, using 'turn order' since Golf Club 2019, PGA 2k21 and PGA 2k23. A couple of months ago PGA 2k23 added platform cross play between console and PC's ....... we have not been able to play since that patch, we just can't connect and get into our own room, no matter who hosts it.
Meanwhile we play other games, saying " Thank God EA PGA Golf is coming out in 7 weeks, 6 weeks, 5 weeks ....... etc". We both buy it, then start playing, and initially confused then angry to find out that we are playing at the same time with NO turn order available in the settings. (Nevermind only one game mode)
This has really pissed us off. After all, all the animations are there when you play alongside a professional during quick play. There would appear to be no practical reason why this existing system cannot be adopted to Coop play.
(I won't go into the bloody awful mouse/keyboard control they've used, again PGA 2k23 can do it ok)
