Yes, Muirfield Village Golf Club is available on GOLF+ VR. Jack Nicklaus’s pride and joy in Dublin, Ohio — host of the Memorial Tournament — is a demanding, tree-lined track that rewards precision and course knowledge. You can access it as individual DLC for about $10, or through the GOLF+ Pass subscription ($9.99/month).
Muirfield Village is a Nicklaus design that plays like a Nicklaus design: long, punishing, and fair if you hit it where you are supposed to. In VR, the course reveals its subtleties in ways that a screen-based sim cannot capture.
Course Quality Assessment
The GOLF+ team captured Muirfield Village accurately. The tree-lined fairways, the elevated greens, the creek that winds through the property — all of it is modeled with care. The course has been updated over time to reflect changes made for the Memorial Tournament, and the GOLF+ version keeps pace.
The VR advantage at Muirfield Village is the green reading. Jack Nicklaus designs his greens with distinct tiers and subtle breaks that reward local knowledge. In VR, you can walk around each green and see the fall lines. The 14th green — a two-tiered monster that has decided many Memorial Tournaments — reads correctly. You can see where to leave your approach shot below the hole.
The course is punishing on GOLF+’s controller physics. Muirfield Village demands accuracy off the tee. The fairways are generous enough, but the second shots require precision to elevated greens protected by deep bunkers. The controller swing introduces enough variance that you will miss more greens than you would on a launch monitor sim.
The signature hole is the 16th — a long par-5 that wraps around a lake. In VR, the water carry on the second shot is intimidating. The depth perception tells you exactly how much carry you need over the hazard. It is the kind of risk-reward decision that VR handles better than any other format.
The 18th hole is a strong finisher: a long par-4 with water down the left and bunkers right. In VR, the double fairway — a Nicklaus hallmark — reads correctly. You can see the advantage of the left side versus the safety of the right.
How to Access
Individual DLC ($10-12): Buy Muirfield Village as a standalone course on the Meta Quest Store or in-game.
GOLF+ Pass ($9.99/month or $99.99/year): Subscribe for access to all courses including Muirfield Village.
Is It Worth It?
Muirfield Village is for Memorial Tournament fans and Nicklaus design enthusiasts. The course is a demanding test that reveals more with each play. The green complexes alone are worth the price of entry if you study them.
For casual players, Muirfield Village is punishing. The tree-lined corridors and elevated greens will frustrate if you are not hitting the ball well in VR. Play from the forward tees or buy a more forgiving course first.
If you are preparing for a corporate outing or member-guest at Muirfield Village, the VR version is one of the best tools available for learning the green contours and approach angles.
