Default Re: Links LS and other golf sims

bonds,

That sounds like a Golden Tee course. NTTAWWT.

Wish I was good at the designer and patient enough to learn, throughout my misspent youth my parents tolerated me making "golf courses" in the front and back yard, even though it must have looked weird to people on the street.

Also, Links LS gave me great appreciation for some courses I otherwise would have never had heard of, like Barton Creek (Fazio), Bighorn, and Pelican Hill. One thing it doesn't do well is accurately portray elevation changes. Having played a couple of the courses IRL, such as Troon North and Cabo del Sol, I guess it's just hard with that engine to portray large drops. It's only the massive drop-offs, like that one at Bighorn, that are very noticeable.
