Hi all, I've just had an email from FSX launching Magnolia National, anybody played it? wondering if its a good rendition of Augusta and comparable to other versions. Thanks

Just looking at the pics, it’s not Augusta but kind of themed to seem like it. If you want Augusta there is only third party software options.Originally posted by 2flops View PostMy Courses:

Yep, had a go at it with some mates last night.
It's Augusta like, even to the extent that the leaderboards and camera towers are there and the greens are slopey with run-offs - but it's not Augusta.
Some of the lesser known holes are there as far as I can tell, but they've avoided directly replicating the famous ones
Some examples
10 is pretty much the same aside from all the ground to the left being open rather than lined with trees and houses (what Rory would have given to play this version all those years ago).
11 is similar aside from the creek extending across the fairway in front of the green
12 is a similar green / bunker setup to the real one but it's 200 yards plus with the creek behind.
13 and 15 aren't there, the Par 5's are generally L-R rather than R-L.
Its a good course, but I think I prefer Glorietta, mainly because you could come away disappointed as Magnolia has so many familiar elements but it's not what you really want.

That's great thanks for the detailed reply Kev you've saved me $150 and the disappointment! I need to look into GSPro and TGCComment
