Links: The Challenge of Golf is a golf video game developed by Access Software. It was published for MS-DOS in 1990, followed by the Amiga in 1992. A Sega CD version, developed by Papyrus Design Group, was released in 1994. It is the first game in the Links series, and was followed by Links 386 Pro (1992). A Microsoft Windows version, titled Microsoft Golf, was released in 1992 as the first game in the Microsoft Golf series.
Links: The Challenge of Golf features the real-life Torrey Pines South Course, which was recreated in the game through the use of photos and video. The game was praised for its realism and won several awards, and some critics noted the high computer requirements. The game was criticized for the sluggish reanimation of each new screen.
