Microsoft today announced that Links Expansion Pack Volume 2 is now available at retail locations throughout North America for only $19.95 (U.S.). Links Expansion Pack Volume 2 will also be available internationally; check local retailers for availability. Cyber-golfers will now be able to play as tour pros Craig Stadler and Dan Forsman on four new courses designed for play with Links 2001 or Links Championship Edition. Stadler and Forsman join the Links pro lineup that already includes Sergio Garcia, Arnold Palmer, Annika Sorenstam, Mike Weir, Keith Clearwater, and Hidemichi Tanaka.

Links Expansion Pack Volume 2 owners will be able to line it up in the natural desert terrain of Arizona’s Stone Canyon Club or lakeside on the Robert Trent Jones Alabama Golf Trail‘s Links Course at Grand National. Also, players can tee off on the newly-updated dramatic cliff-lined fairways of The Fazio Foothills Course at Barton Creek, and enjoy updated graphics on the panoramic scenery and challenge of Scottsdale‘s Troon North. As an added bonus, PC golfers can enjoy Ayrshire Dunes (also known as Northern Dunes), a fictional course created with the Arnold Palmer Course Designer by Links enthusiast Mike Jones.

The Expansion Pack also adds over 300 new objects to the library of over 1,700 already available for the Arnold Palmer Course Designer (APCD). These objects equip budding architects to create breathtakingly beautiful courses with the APCD. Additionally, the Links 2001 Expansion Pack will contain the Links 2001 Course Converter that allows players to convert up to 36 Links LS courses for play with Links 2001 (courses must be previously owned), and the 1.1 update for the APCD. Links Expansion Pack Volume 2 requires previous versions of Links 2001 or Links Championship Edition. Links Championship Edition and Links 2001 are available at software retailers nationwide.
