Re: Love WGT, but it's a shame about Whistler

  I love playing WGT because it's not like other "video games" with fake renderings.  It is actual photographs of the courses.  This is what made me extremely disappointed to see Chateau Whistler added to the game looking like a cartoon.  If you are not going to represent the course with your typical high standards, then it would be better to not include the course at all.  Again love the game, but was disappointed to see that course.

  Whistler & Cabo are TRUGOLF courses not shot by WGT ..

  these are added in partnership with Trugolf to up the number of courses released per year since it takes WGT aprox 6 months to construct 1 photoreal course ..

  Whistler's fun.....so is Cabo.

  Sometimes you need to get away from the other courses and experience something a little different.

  Whistler and Cabo offer that.

  I don't play them much.....but I do play them from time to time when I'm bored of the other courses and porn isn't an option :)

  I love the new courses. It's a change up and I appreciate them letting me play them for FREE.

  Thanks for the reply Chris, that was a great explanation.  I'm sure the most common complaint is not enough courses, and I'm sure I am unlike most people because I enjoy the opportunity to take a virtual tour of great courses even more than the actual game play, so I was alarmed to see WGT head this route, but I understand and hope that WGT sticks to their values.  I for one will rarely if ever play Cabo or Whistler or any other course added in this fashion.  I will continue to buy credits as I feel more than buying new equipment it is donating to the development of this great game and will bring more opportunity to see more courses of the photoreal variety.  Thanks to WGT for creating not only a great game, but a great resource to experience classic golf courses as well.

  Yes AvCam, the WGT courses are truly fantastic ... unlike any other golfgame out there ... WGT is the 1st "golfgame" that gives me the impression that i'm NOT playing a game ..

  Although playing Whistler & Cabo every now and then is fun for me too .. i prefer Whistler, Cabo looks alot more LooneyTune than Whistler ..

  Nuthin' like the WGT courses though ..
