_________________________

World Tour Golf lets you play over a dozen well known courses, including Augusta and Pebble Beach. A split screen gives you an overhead view of the hole and a 3-D view. The control uses multiple button presses to set pace and draw/fade - fortunately a Driving Range is included to practice on. When you select a club, its range is superimposed on the view, making planning shots easier. Wind, pin placement and even weather conditions must be considered as you play your shot. Also included is a course architect for creating new courses or modifying existing ones.

Trivia
World Tour Golf's copy protection has you identify which course an overhead view of a hole is from. The list of possibles are scattered throughout the manual. Should you fail the copy protection, you can still play the game, but only the first two holes!

Description from the packaging:

"Catch 'Ya On The Back Nine"
Imagine, playing golf on more than 20 of the world's greatest courses, all on the same day. Start in Scotland, on the challenging links of St. Andrews. Next, how about Georgia, and the lush greens of Augusta? End your day on the shores of the Pacific Ocean, at beautiful Pebble Beach. And, when you've mastered the world's best, no problem, simply design your own "soon-to-be" classics.
The left hand of the screen displays a bird's eye view of the entire hole.
Use the cursor to aim your shot. The automatic "range finder" lets you instantly check club distance.

Course and player updates give you information about the current hole. Check such factors as wind conditions, lie of the ball, yards to the pin and current space.
