I have purchased almost all of them during these years (except Driftwood). Played them once and again and again and consider them to belong to another league ( I love Crooked Creek too,...). So, just out of curiosity, how many have you purchased? Which is your favorite and why? If you haven´t bought them already, well consider it as a help for Perfect Golf to be released sooner ;) My favorite is Rugged Dune, love the sensation of being playing a tough golf round  alone in the dunes, a feeling no other golf course has achieved yet.  I must have played that course dozens of times...

I believe that I've purchased all of them though I would have to see the entire list to be absolutly sure. From your description I'm not sure if you thought Crooked Creek was designed by Mike but in actuality it was done by Wayne Hewitt, another of the APCD Gods. I have purchased Wayne's creations as well. I think my favorite Mike Jones course has to be Cara Brae.

I haven't bought many (sorry MJ.....no offence!)

I love Las Joyas.....that Spanish Type course filled a big gap in the type of courses created in APCD. As mentioned previously, Wayne's Wagga Wagga is my all-time fave!

Nor have I purchased all of them but I do like (hyperlink:  Las Joyas ) a lot. A really different ambiance on that course. Very nicely designed all around.

I also have all of the MJ courses and all of the HD releases he came out with. 

According to the above list, there are 15...  And they all would be in just about everybody's top 30 or so.


Went to Digital Storm and ordered me up a nice gaming machine :)

Intel i3 chip at 3.9G

16 gig DDR4 RAM

GeForce 970 GTX 4gig vid card

240G SSD

1TB HD

Windows 10

It's HERE!!  JNPG runs great with all the bells and whistles at max or close to it...  I still turn 3D render off for the swing, tho.

I used to be so mean! :ph34r:  Some of my earlier courses are brutal to play and I'd class Las joyas in that too I guess. 

Check out Pilgrim Trails as it was the last course I designed from scratch for Links and it's a little more realistic in most areas.

I love playing Pilgrim Trails.

I love looking at Las Joyas.......... but I don't like playing it at all. It only really rewards great shots. Good shots are still punished, and I rarely play great shots!  :blink:

Burns Old Links is my favourite. Plenty of risk/reward options. Like challenge.
