Can You Play TPC River Highlands on GOLF+ VR?...

Yes, TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut is available on GOLF+ VR. Host of the Travelers Championship, this Pete Dye design is a short but tricky course that delivers more punch than its yardage suggests. You can access it as individual DLC for about $10, or through the GOLF+ Pass subscription ($9.99/month).

TPC River Highlands is the course that keeps surprising me. It is only 6,800 yards from the tips — short by modern PGA TOUR standards — but it produces some of the most exciting finishes on the schedule. In VR, the course’s subtlety becomes obvious in a way that TV coverage never shows.

Course Quality Assessment

The GOLF+ team built TPC River Highlands with solid accuracy. The course winds along the Connecticut River, and the VR version captures the rolling terrain, the tree-lined corridors, and the water hazards that define the layout.

The short length of TPC River Highlands is actually an advantage on GOLF+ VR. The controller physics favor courses where you do not need to bomb drives 300 yards. You can hit iron off the tee on most holes and still have a reasonable approach. This makes the course more playable than the long PGA TOUR venues in the catalog.

The signature is the closing stretch — the “Golden Triangle” of 15, 16, and 17. The 15th is a drivable par-4 with a pond guarding the green. The 16th is a short par-3 over water. The 17th is a risk-reward par-4 with water down the entire left side. In VR, these three holes are as good as any finishing stretch on the platform. The depth perception on the water carries makes every decision feel real.

The greens at TPC River Highlands are small and well-protected. In VR, you can read the breaks and see the danger clearly. The course rewards accuracy over power, which suits GOLF+’s physics model better than the bomber-friendly venues.

The biggest downside is that TPC River Highlands is not visually stunning. It is a Connecticut country club with trees and ponds. There are no ocean views, no mountain backdrops, no desert panoramas. It is a course you play because you love the tournament and the design, not because it looks incredible in VR.

Is It Worth It?

TPC River Highlands is one of the best “everyman” courses in the GOLF+ catalog. The short length makes it playable on controller physics. The Golden Triangle finish is as exciting as any closing stretch in VR golf. The green complexes reward repeat play.

For Travelers Championship fans, this is an essential buy. The 15th through 17th holes in VR capture the drama of the tournament better than any screen-based sim can. For players looking for a fun, scoreable course that still challenges your accuracy, TPC River Highlands is a strong choice.
