Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

The golf courses featured in Microsoft Golf 2001 look simply glorious on screen. The high quality graphics provide very realistic scenery and the soundtrack includes the tweeting of birds and the occasional distant rumble of the world going about its business to add to the charm. The seven courses include the palm-tree fringed Mauna Kea and the dramatic rock formations of Three Canyons. You'll be pleased to know that the "ball physics" has been improved too.

There are three computer golfers as opponents with amateur, professional and championship status. You can design players down to their shirt colour, picking a persona from the five male and three female figures available, issuing them with clubs and choosing their default swing type. Players display a repertoire of gestures--Male 3, for instance, has a habit of throwing his hat to the ground in frustration when things aren't going his way--and comments after a stroke is played--these range from "Gee!" to "Break out the swim wear" when a golf ball plunges to a watery grave.

There are lessons to help you master the game, tools for improving your play and camera angles for getting the best view of the green. The aerial view gives an overview and as you near the hole, a grid overlays the green to show the lie of the land clearly. Course and player statistics are collected for viewing and printing

This is a delight for golfing addicts, even imparting something of the peaceful outdoor experience for those who can't get onto a green. --Mark Whitehorn

5.0 out of 5 stars Golf for non-players !, 26 Jun 2001
By Vic Pusill (South West Scotland) - See all my reviews
I've never played a round in my life,and this convinces me I've saved a hell of a lot of money and energy while still enjoying the delights of the game. I can beat the pants off the pro without stirring from my PC, and it costs me next to nothing to do it ! And you get the bonus of playing wonderful courses that no average golf club member would ever visit. Some frustrated players may have criticisms of this first rate title: not your actual armchair enthusiast !!

2.0 out of 5 stars Easy to use???, 31 Jan 2001
By A Customer
I found the graphics much better in this version of Microsoft's Golf series but it was let down by it's controls which were difficult to get used to, as well as it's poor selection of players to use.

4.0 out of 5 stars Who needs more computer players ????, 30 Jun 2001
By Simon Johnston (Kent, England) - See all my reviews
Don't be discouraged by previous reviews of this game, the graphics are great, the controls are very simple to use, allowing you to control all aspects of the game very easily. Who needs more than 5 computer players anyway, each course has plenty of challenges of their own, more than enough to give hours of pleasurable game play. My only nag is that you can't play any pro tournaments, but I suppose that's what Links is for!!!
