Old thread and these 2 are gone but, yeah, I've been playing it.
The signature edition has better gfx than the older one which really inspired me to seek out computer golf games back circa. 1987.
I found the software and emulator all free online. I can stream on Twitch without any trouble. The cool thing is you can design courses, and you have full control of all the construction factors. I made 3 so far and one is a par 3 course. Then you can give your courses to someone else who can import the files.
You can create computer opponents and tailor their abilities to challenge your game.
I played STA on Champ tees, advance player (3 levels are novice, advanced and expert) and I just about made par. The fast 3 click meter is all the deviation you'll need. I'm big on missing those 4 footers, too. Timing is everything.
The SE also can import courses from the old game. I found a few add ons so I have about 20 famous courses, but with only about 3 that I can't locate. (Oak Hill, Royal Troon, Kemper Lakes)
These are the ones I have:
English Turn
Sherwood
Saint Andrews
Saint Creek
Saint Mellion
Shoal Creek
Desert Mountains
Castle Pines
Lorimar resort
Australian
Medinah
Baltusrol
Crooked Stick
Hazeltine National
Oakmont
Pebble Bch
Royal Birkdale
Muirfield Village
The Bear's Track

I think it's just as fun to design a course on a computer as playing the game.
