  How much would you pay for the use to compensate their effort?

  User's workaround: Play BPB back nine - a few flat holes - multi-purpose.
  In practice mode, you can use (expensive) mulligans!

  You have zero ranked rounds on any of the available courses and you are already complaining that there are not enough courses to play. Wow!

  If you would get out of those coin rooms and really learn the game , you wouldnt need a driving range . Use stroke play practice rounds and put your time in . There are more than enough courses to keep you busy . You havent learned them enough to win on them .  

  Also WGT cant just add courses without permission . If they could we would have had Augusta years ago . Next time use the search >>>>>>>>>>> before posting on your topic as it will save you a lot of time .

  Have we gotten a reason why there's not a driving range?  For the haters out there, I've been playing WGT for years.   I've played all aspects and games.   A simple driving range makes perfect sense.   This way one can understand all capabilities of their clubs.  

  WGT does a wonderful job making this game as realistic as possible.  A driving range is part of that experience.  

   

  Thank you.

  No you havent :

  58 Ranked Rounds 

  0 Match Play 

  0 Alternate Shot  

  Stroke play practice rounds will give you everything that you need . You can pick a hole and practice any shot type that you want . You can also use the CTTH courses to work on your short game as well . So you can practice every aspect of the game without a driving range .

  I am just new here and far away from knowing how this all works, but: a driving range is completely different from playing a practice round. 

  On a driving range you make a huge number of shots with always the same club, so you can experiment with that specific club. A practice round simulates the course. Both of them are important.

  Not really, if you need to practise, find the weekly/monthly unlimited strokeplay round, you’ll have a maximum amount of shots for each hole. Hit the ball up & down the fairway, from the tee/rough etc.

  In a PR you use a ‘mulligan’ which is two hits for one. 

  It’s been mentioned several times by ‘top’ players that a practise round does not play the same as a stroke round.

  Lizard69 and Yannis1970 have all posted this in the past.

  But wait…..they’ll be the usual crowd along soon with their input!!
