This review is from: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2000 Add-on: The Buick Courses (CD-ROM)

EA Sports definitely made a great choice in choosing courses for an Add-on.

What you receive is the courses that the Buick Open at Warwick Hills, the Buick Invitational played on the South Course at Torrey Pines, and the Buick Challenge on the Mountain View Course at Callaway Gardens. Each of the courses have different traits.

The course description for Warwick Hills also says "Collect your birdies early. You'll need to finish strong on the last four holes". The description's advice is definitely very helpful. The last 4 holes, especially the 18, make a great finish to a round.

But the real trait that Warwick Hills carries is the soft contours and the gently rolling greens. It makes the course look very beautiful but can (And will) wreak total havoc on your short game.

Although Torrey Pines sounds like an inland course with a lot of pine trees, the South Course also has the San Diego coastline viewable from the course, and in-play. The South Course is well known for its devastating winds, and can easily cause trouble.

The Mountain View Course at Callaway Gardens is known for being one of the toughest stops on the PGA Tour. I must agree. There is never a level lie on any of the holes. From a few of the holes on the Tournament tees,a slight error could leave your ball in the woods. And with the 15th hole, it adds up to an exceptional course.

Without any doubt, the Buick Courses is definitely worth buying. It makes a great addition to any Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2000 course library!
