The Links Philosophy
At Access, we believe a golf game should be more than just an interaction with your mouse. We take seriously the challenge of recreating the golfing experience on your computer to totally immerse you in our favorite sport at the flip of a switch. Welcome to our world- the world of Links LS!

Arnold Palmer and Latrobe Country Club.
The first in our Tour Player Series delivers far more than 18 holes of golf. The Arnold Palmer experience includes a virtual reality tour of Arnie's workshop, office and trophy room. Roam freely in 360 degrees and examine the tools of trade behind the legend. Listen to Mr. Palmer give insights and recollection his PGA and Senior PGA tours through Access Software's exclusive multimedia footage. Then tee off a Latrobe Country Club as or against the digitized Mr. Palmer, who not only looks and sounds exactly like Arnie, but plays with the same style and tenacity that defined the legendary Grand Master of Golf.

Kapalua on the Island of Maui
Resting on the tropical coast of Maui, two glorious Hawaiian Island courses have been selected to inaugurate Links LS as the first in the series of Resort Courses- The Plantation and Village Courses and Kapalua.

3 Championship Courses to Challenge You.
Links LS comes with 3 championship courses ready for you to play. Kapalua Okantation and Village Courses and Arnold Palmer's home course of Latrobe Country Club in western Pennsylvania.
