  Hey WGT Community!

  I think it would be amazing if we could create our own golf course, not just mixing a lot of holes from other courses together. But if we could use the course designer that the WGT Team is using, I think we could remake our main courses! Or just be creative and make one completely from scratch!

  This course creating thing should not be really advanced. Please, don't leave anyone behind, everyone should be able to use it properly!

  If you like the idea, please support it by sharing it to the community and friends!

  I agree - people should be able to build a course how they like ie replicating their home course to play on when it is raining outside :)

  Thats a totally different program from what they are using . It would also make them liable to copy right infringements and unauthorized use of courses . Many players if they had the ability to use such a program would be copying  Augusta , TPC Sawgrass and other courses as well .

  Wgt is in the business of copying with permission and under license actual golf courses for players interaction of play . All courses in this game are real and can be played on inreal life . Designing fake courses is not what they do and would require a whole new program entirely .

  Great idea, all you'll need is a helicopter, a few photographers, a few pieces of 3d laser surveying gear and an in depth knowledge of computer programming.

  Getting the 3D mesh overlaid on a series of 2D photographs will be tricky though.

  Just take some LSD, set St Andrews up in WGT and your imagination will do the rest.

  Here's how they do it -

  Might be time for WGT/TG to invest in drones
