I might fire it up just for Sahalee

Ah, the bad old days of buying a disc with five courses on it.

Hard to knock anything like that given where the state of golf games is at the moment. 
 

No financial incentives = No golf games being developed or updated anymore.

I can't find hide nor hair of any of my PGA Championship Golf 2000 CD's.  In fact, 90% of my PC game CDs are AWOL   I was able to find Virtual Golf: Scottish Open... a 95'ish DOS game, which I recall being pretty cool at the time, with its dynamic (in its day) camera presentation modes, but I can't get it to run in any sort of compatibility mode.  I can't get "DosBox" to run either.  Oh well, I was really more interested in PGA Championship Golf 2000 anyway.

Not to encourage "piracy" or anything, but isn't PGA 2000 readily available for free online in a few places?

 

The core game is complete and total abandonware at this point.  

I can't imagine many having a huge issue with "sourcing a copy".

I tried hunting down my old PGA 2000 CD disks and can't find them either. 

 

BTW, I agree that  it's abandonware and not equivalent to piracy.  

 

Do you know a "safe" place to download them from?

Any of the links on this page do it?

 

(the installer perhaps? - have not tried it, so not sure)

I'll certainly give that a try.  I'd seen that page linked earlier in the thread, but took a quick glimpse at it and thought that it was just for courses.  I'll report back how it works...

I downloaded the installation and patch files, but after installation, I clicked on the "PGA2000.exe" file in the SIERRA/PGA2000 folder and get a "Cannot find file, you must re-install PGA Championship 2000"  I re-installed it and got the same message.  My frustration limit with this has been reached.  If I find my CDs I'll reinstall it from them...

I have sid meiers sim golf that is one of my favorite golf games and couldn’t get it to run on w10 for nothing till I found a patch to get it to run..next till I go to my local thrift store I’ll see if that pga2000 is there..I’ve seen old golf games in it before..

Did any of you design any courses for PGA 2000 and if so which ones? I know Desertrat did sierra ridge. Do any of you remember your user name in PGA? Now don't laugh but I am still designing courses for that game. Everything you said about the swing is true. I just installed a VM on win 10 too. I still have an old XP computer strictly for PGA.

I never fully got the hang of PGA 2000. At the time I had a pretty slow PC and I was also trying to beta test APCD, which was also very difficult due to slowness of said PC.
