I just got back into Links 2003 after 14 years or so. Old Links devs patched it up to work w/ WIn7/8/10 and modern video cards + widescreen resolutions.
The latest spiritual successor to Links is the new-ish Jack Nicklaus Perfect Golf on Steam (coming to Win10 soon apparently). http://store.steampowered.com/app/288140/Jack_Nicklaus_Perfect_Golf/ The best course designer for Links 2003 is involved in it in some capacity, maybe part owner.
