Pinehurst &
Banff Springs
by Tony Curro
Access Software, keeping with its promise to release several new
golf course this year, has released two new Super VGA golf course
Pinehurst is a upgrade of an earlier release. However, the new
version, as with the other Super VGA releases, incorporates the
newest Kodak CD technology, to make you feel like you actually are
on the course.
Pinehurst Resort and Country Club is recognized as one of the finest
golf resorts in the world. Designed by Donald Ross, Pinehurst Number
Two, nestled in a North Carolina forest, was chosen as a Links
Championship Course due to its spectacular layout. Travel the
rolling terrain, tree lined fairways and undulating greens, as you
play a round of golf.
Banff Springs, the first international course from Access, comes to
you from Alberta, Canada. Originally built by the Canadian Pacific
Railway Company in 1911, the course was redesigned by Stanley
Thompson in 1928.
This course is over a mile high, and nestled in the Rockies offers
almost indescribable beauty. As you travel the course the Rockies
form a breathtaking backdrop. You can only play the course from May
1-October 15, but, as a Links Championship Course, you can play it
year round.
Banff Springs most famous hole is "The Devil's Cauldron" (see
graphic), a magnificient par 3 played from a tee perched high above
a tiny emerald lake.
Owners of the previous version of Pinehurst, should receive upgrade
information in the mail. Each course is sold separately, and all
course will work with Links, Links 386 Pro and Microsoft Golf. They
support Real Sound and all major sound boards, and require less than
3MB hard disk sapce per course.
I have been pleased with all the course from Access. The graphics
from the newer courses make them well worth the price. I would like
to see a CD-ROM based version of Links with several course included.
Maybe all of them.
