Description from the packaging.
Complete on courses you create.
Includes two award-winning courses:
- The Prince Course, with a complete interactive tour, and
- Rancho La Quinta.
Finally, a golf course designed just for you. That's because it's designed by you- using your SimGolf Course Architect. Play your own masterpieces- or the two built-in gems by expert designed Robert Trent Jones, Jr. And sample another stroke of genius. It's the MouseSwing, a revolutionary interface that feels more like the real thing- and more like your real swing. And once you've mastered the perfect swing, you can show it off on the world's biggest public course, the Internet.
- Modify SimGolf's courses or create dozens of new ones- as tame or tough as you like- with the powerful Course Architect.
- The breakthrough MouseSwing interface lets you use the mouse to hit the ball for greater control of your swing. (The traditional "power bar" option is also available.)
- Play two award-winning courses by master golf architect Robert Trent Jones, Jr.: Rancho La Quinta and The Prince Course.
- Play a virtual foursome with real opponents in real time over the Internet or your LAN.
- Scout out each course before you tee off with the 3-D course walk-through. And see your shots from six views- top, fly-by, landing, pin, profile, and instant replay.
- Renowned golf architect Robert Trent Jones, Jr. gives you video tips on course design and strategic shotmaking.
- Create new courses with the full-featured Course Architect. Make your course flat or hilly; plant holes and hazards, and it's tee time.
- Design the course of your dreams- or nightmares. Raise or lower terrain; add trees, traps, lakes and other natural hazards.
- The MouseSwing leaves the driving- and the chipping and putting- to you.
- Tee off for high-stakes skins, stroke, or match play; or play a practice round.

Play two classic courses by Robert Trent Jones, Jr.
Rancho La Quinta
Host to golfing legends at The Skins Game, this award-winning course offers 7,068 challenging yards sheltered by the Santa Rosa Mountains.
- The desert topography of Rancho La Quinta will test every club in your bag. Strategically-placed bunkers, citrus groves and sloping greens require careful shots.
Princeville Resort, Kauai
Pack your bags for a golfer's paradise: the gorgeous tropical landscape of Kauai, Hawaii. The Prince Course has won a clubhouse full of "Best Course" awards, including Golf Digest's "America's 500 Best Places You Can Play," January 1996 issue.
- Overlooking the Pacific, The Prince Course features awe-inspiring scenery- and golfing challenges.
Closer to the real thing. Closer to your real swing.
Call it computer golf's answer to titanium clubs: SimGolf's revolutionary MouseSwing interface gives you more control on every shot. Just slide the mouse to blast a power drive or finesse a delicate chip to the green. The standard "power bar" option is also available for computer golf traditionalists.
- Get hooked on the MouseSwing: create slices and hooks, fades and draws, top and bottom spin and more!
- Slide the mouse back for backswing...
- and forward for impact.
Learn from the master.
You've got a well-placed sponsor in the exclusive SimGolf club: legendary golf course designer Robert Trent Jones, Jr. He's been called "the Frank Lloyd Wright of golf course architects." Jones has designed more than 170 courses worldwide- including many considered to be among the best modern courses built in the U.S.
- Through video clips, Robert Trent Jones, Jr. will advise you on the art of course design- and how to read a course to lower your score.
