Update: added more details.

This Tuesday, Rare is adding 9 additional holes to the golf game in Kinect Sports Season 2, which in my opinion, should have been done in the first place but I suppose it’s better later than never. The trailer above should give you a good impression on what to expect.

From Rare’s blog:

“Kinect Sports: Season Two” Tees Up Nine Epic New Golf Holes and Extra Features to Keep You in the Game

Launching Dec. 20, the “Maple Lakes Golf Pack” presents “the back 9” with new Challenges, achievements and free content to double your fun on the green

Swing into action with the “Maple Lakes Golf Pack” game add-on for “Kinect Sports: Season Two,” available Dec. 20 on Xbox LIVE for 400 Microsoft Points, with one hole for players to put to the test free of charge.

Title Update

Next to the golf pack, a free title update will also come to everyone the 20th of December.

Launched alongside the Golf Pack, a “Kinect Sports: Season Two” title update adds all-new functionality to enhance multiplayer matches and make challenges even more gratifying for all sports, from Challenge Play email notifications and Facebook results posts through to video chat over Xbox LIVE matches.

Achievements

  • Crater Expectations (20)
    Hit a Hole-in-One on Crater Springs – The lay of the land may be helpful. (All difficulties)

This should tie us golfers over until Tiger Woods gets released, right?

Skiiing

For those not that into golfing, there is more to come for Kinect Sports Season 2. On their blog, the developer of the Kinect game (Rare) reports that:

Additional “Kinect Sports: Season Two” game add-ons will be made available every month through spring 2012, each release including some element of free content to keep you on the field and in the game. Coming soon, players can experience nighttime thrill rides with the “Midnight Mountain Ski Pack” releasing mid-January. Stay tuned for details on additional challenges, features and even a whole new sport coming in the New Year!

Sounds good!
