  Since we are not going to have the virtual open championship at RLSA will we have another course to replace it this year?

  No. There is only one HD course this year. However a new full 18 hole trugolf course is in the works. Also new pin placements on Kiawah and Congressional are coming. So that's almost like getting two new courses. Stay tuned to a screen near you for further details.

  So what happens if WGT does not secure contracts for next years US/British open courses?  Does that mean there would be zero HD corses?  I'm surprised WGT does not have a back up plan in place to still have a two HD course every year.

  That could happen but I'm pretty sure they will get the US Open course.  Off the top of my head I can't remember which course hosts the British Open so not sure.  Based upon what MRWGT says, the agreement stands with the US and British Opens, however they still have to get the course to agree every year.  Obviously this year no agreement could be made.   I'd like to see them come up with an agreement with the PGA as well, they generally play on some good tracts and since it is in August it would space out nicely.

  i agree lefty, i thought that myself, i meen wgt should have a back up plan to bring us 2 HD courses..

  although i do agree with congress and kiawah having new pins will be brill and feel like a new course..

  the tru golf courses for me dont really cut it, as it was the HD  graphics that got me sucked into this game in the 1st place. 

  its an excellent game, i was disapointed there will be no british open but i do apreciate the work that wgt put into this site 

  so keep up the good work :)

  I was just wondering why there are 7 golf courses that are grayed out and I am unable to choose from. I noticed a replay from one of them (Hilversumsche) from my friend who is at the  Master tier. It would be nice to be able to play these courses as well.

  Bali Hai

  EdgeWood Tahoe

  Wolf Creek

  Pebble Beach

  Harbour Town

  Celtic Manor

  Hilversumsche 

  to name a few of them.

  Thanks

  These courses that you have named are available to play ONLY in a 'Blitz' or 'Closest to the Hole' format. Well, Pebble Beach is not available at this moment. It used to be for about a month.....probably about a year ago or so. But I do encourage you to check out theses other courses and play Blitz and/or CTTH. Playing these formats helps your game. Have fun and good luck.

  I already have known about these other courses was just curious why they can not be played in rank mode. Yes I have played a lot of rounds and am currently the Owner of my own country club in which I have set up various tournaments in the past. Mostly for my two closest friends who got me started on this site. Most of my rounds are either ranked, closest to the hole, Tournements games.

  Thank You

  for your reply
