  First, stay healthy and safe everyone, WGT staff and players. Second, we were promised a Bandon Dunes 18 hole course about a year ago, why isn`t it in the pipelines yet?

  Oki doki :))

  We would absolutely love to do that. 

  If we had any courses that were built and ready we would release them and not make you wait. Unfortunately this is not the case and we don't have a new courses to release at this time.

  So I guess the announcement of Bandon Dunes in 2020 was a lie? Because if it’s indeed in development, your answer would be different.

  All of these courses have a few holes from Oakmont and Wolf Creek which are on none of the "best of's" courses....

  Wolf Creek wasn't here as a stroke play course when the best of courses we have now or the original best of courses were made. And before we lost Oakmont for a year or two the management of Oakmont would not allow WGT to use any of their holes in any best of course.

  The original best of  par 5 best of par 4 and best of par 3 had a few Cabo and Whistler holes. The  new best of 3 4 and 5 courses have no Cabo or Whistler holes so i am assuming that Tru-Golf made them stop using them. At the same time that the  new best of 3 4 and 5 were made they also stopped using Cabo and  Whistler in Ready Go's  so it is fairly obvious that Tru-golf didn't like how WGT was using their courses.

  The mobile/PCEA version of the BOP5 does have holes from Whistler and Cabo.  I'm not sure why that difference is allowed.

  Well if what your saying is in fact correct ....Then that is ridiculous ...What is the difference in what format or layout we have access to these courses?? If there on the game and being used as full courses already then obviously WGT has the rights to use them also i remember WGT using Oakmont holes in their "Custom US Open course few years ago...  Not to mention I can build "Custom Course" using said courses and everyone in my country club can then play on these custom built courses there is zero reason one of them can not be implemented into WGT for everyone?

  I don't know anything about the mobile version but I'm pretty sure my version of BOP5 on PCEA is just the same as on flash, meaning no Cabo or Whistler.
