    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.
