When it comes to golf on the Xbox 360, you're pretty much stuck with Electronic Arts' Tiger Woods series, which is actually a pretty good thing. If you've never played golf on the 360, and even if you're only mildly interested in doing so, The Goozex Report suggests that you check it out. You can start by trading for the 07 title, because it's value is relatively low right now, and you can still find online competition when you grow tired of beating the AI. The Goozex Report breaks down the values for each of the Tiger Woods titles and provides the Metacritic score.

David Kenson writes "Tiger Woods 12 manages to squeeze out a few more improvements on Tiger Woods 11's already full rostrum of options. Like last year, MotionPlus allows the game to capture a one-to-one backwards and forwards stroke, but now it adds the Balance board into the swing equation for the first time."
He provides a comparison of the different version of Tiger on the Wii, which highlights the up-and-down nature of the EA franchise.
That's a very thorough look at the last five titles in the series as compared to the latest. I have to say that I'm occasionally addicted to golf games, although I prefer them on the arcade-y side (I loved Sensi Golf on the Amiga!). If I take the plunge again this will be really helpful!
Sensible Golf on the Amiga sold very badly and was considered a commercial failure, I believe; but, I thought it was an excellent title.
Not 100% sure about using the balance board. I suppose it isn't as vigorous as Raving Rabbids but the board isn't as stable as a golf course. Interesting use of the board though.
Good grief... well I guess if I played golf this could be an amazing teaching tool. As I don't Ill have to play it with features all turned off if I want any hope of success. Still good for EA to at least be trying to make use of the Wii peripherals and iterating on a franchise on a console where most developers just pump out lazy ports.
The only thing it can run "one ball and a club"
