    Would love some more of The Open courses on the game. Carnoustie, Royal Liverpool would be my first picks

    A lot of us would like to see some more courses, even the local muni down the street would be welcomed at this point.  Heck, most of us would even settle for some new pin sets at this point.

    Haha I'd be happy if they threw in rainy conditions to give us something new to figure out

    Actually last Wednesday of March if you have or play with someone who has/buys Premier/Plus membership, the new Course Pass, or whatever "Bundle" package they roll out.

    Pricing and details still not announced on the Course Pass or Bundle packages

    The last Open Championship course WGT did was Royal St Georges in 2011.  We never got Royal Lytham & St Annes the following year for reasons they wouldn't divulge, although there were rumours at the time that RL&SA wouldn't allow them to photograph the course.  I think they tried getting Muirfield the following year, but that didn't happen either, and since then WGT haven't bothered with any more Open Championship courses, and most likely never will.  There is probably also a much larger cost to do the UK courses than it is for US courses.

    At one time, apart from Kiawah (which I believe was WGT's first course), they prided themselves with bringing us just the Open Championship and US Open courses each year, which everyone would have been ecstatic with.  But that fell apart in 2012 when we lost the Open Championship courses.  Actually, we didn't get Pebble beach in 2010 either, but I think that was because of contractual issues; I believe we got Pebble Beach in 2019 in line with the US Open venue for that year.  No Shinnecock Hills in 2018, and no Winged Foot in 2020, then nothing after Torrey Pines in 2021.  And as you can see from the course we're getting in a couple of months time (Quail Hollow), it seems they've now given up on US Open courses too.

    We didn't get Pebble Beach in 2010 because Electronic Arts Claimed to have exclusive rights to it and at the time WGT even removed the Pebble Beach CTTH course they had then. It took several years for WGT to get the rights to it,
