The included Arnold Palmer Course Designer provides users with the ability to accurately re-create courses in a real-time 3-D system. Players can adjust every inch of fairway and create tunnels and arches with full control over each point on the course. A library of trees, shrubs, and other vegetation allows players to sort for the climate and season that fit their home course, or they can import their own custom trees.
In Links Championship Edition, 14 new golfer animations are captured at the highest resolution possible. New tour players and a variety of other golfers are built with lifelike, preshot motions including waggle, aiming, and preshot fidgeting. Each new golfer has a unique personality and will comment on players' games as if you were out golfing with buddies.

Customer Reviews of Links Championship Edition 2002 (Mac)
Nice challenging golf game for the Mac I play this game usually in downtime on the train or just to kick back and relax for a challenging round. Graphically it is a pretty good game but nowhere near the graphics level of PS2 or XBox. The physics of the game are fantastic and the courses rather challenging. Seems extremely difficult to get a hole in one. I run this on my Powerbook G4 with 768 megs of ram and the 8 megs of video running OS 10.2.4. It runs flawlessly when no other apps are open, but if you have a few ram intensive apps open, close them before you begin the game. One enhancement that I see as a neccessity is the ability to still navigate the dock when the game is running. I run iTunes at the same time as playing usually, and if I have to close the screen for some reason, iTunes stops playing and cannot be restarted without going to the dock.
Some answers for other reviewers, I hope...
I have a G3/350 512MRam ATI Rage 128 running OSx.1.5 & 9.2.2. The game installed and ran right out of the box, there that's a few myths dispelled. It does run in X (better than 9 actually), it does work with a Rage, it doesn't require a Dual 1.25Ghz G4.
For the reviewer from Watertown, USA - the remaining animations are on the CDs.
For Marcus Lingl - read the readme, get the ATI updated drivers for X and it will run just fine, better than in 9 actually.
For the many peope who want to know why it took so long take a look at http://www.greendragon.com/links.html

All we use are Macs and all we play is Links
Similar in appearance to LS 97-2000, until you actually play
I got the cd-rom, was annoyed by the mandatory loading of disc 1 to play. There may be a way around it, if you delete the Intro Quicktime Bold Gator video from your Links CE folder. After doing that, I don't have to place disc 1 in for verification anymore when I play CE. At the very least, you won't have to see the stupid video each time you start Links CE.
The adding of courses via the CD's 1-4 can be spotty, sometimes not loading them to your hard drive, but insisting on loading them from directly from the cd. You should be able to place CRZ courses directly into the courses folder and have them show up from the course manager as available courses.
As for play, the graphics do not dazzle, but CE has changed significantly in ball physics, both in flight, and in putting. Also, hitting into the rough has huge penalties, just like it should. In links 2000, except for special rough on some courses, most of the time you just went down an Iron. The putting is much harder and the colored grids are nice for viewing gradient changes.
The CRX to CRZ course converter results in courses that look just like they did when you played them in LS 2000 but with the new physics in effect--much more fun.
THe games can be buggy in some cases when hitting the ball, but all in all, this games plays similar to the windows version, just does not look quite as nice.
The worst thing about this game is the inability to play Windows users online--I dont get that at all, it is senseless. Still, this is a great golf game!
Make sure you have plenty of RAM, and a g-5 dual would not hurt.
