PGA Championship Review October 13, 2003
Paul Brancheau (USA)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

Ilove the play. I use a track ball rather than a mouse and find the gaming a lot of fun and pretty accurate. The fact that there are so many courses to choose from eliminates any boredom. I have used the 3 step system on other golf games and find them very stiff. It's too bad that you have discontinued this. I looked for a long time before I found it gathering dust on a shelve.

Great play but Course Architect is awful May 12, 2001

The play style in this game is wonderful utilizing a new concept in the swing called TrueSwing. TrueSwing uses the mouse to make a complete stroke instead of doing the old three click. To make a stroke you move the mouse back and then forward. Line of movement and speed determines ball flight and distance which really simulates a golf swing. The detail is beautiful, and there are quite a few golf courses out there to download.

The really bad part is that the Course Architect is a horrible tool for designing golf courses. Initially you cannot put holes over water or make holes to your liking (say a 100yd par 3), with the Course Wizard. There are ways around this but the principles are difficult to master and very tedious. I miss the old design program of Jack Nicklaus Golden Bear which allowed you to freely "paint" a course without limits, and I still think the design style of that old program were leagues ahead of this one. If you enjoy sitting there and making constant design adjustments due to what I see as a flaw in the program design, then this program is for you. If you want to be able to architect a course from scratch without worrying about whether your "water shape" overlaps your "fairway shape" then look elsewhere.

Thumbs up for gaming. Thumbs down for design.
