  As the Open is a fixed rota if we are lucky we may nonetheless have all of the courses at some point within a few years.

  I think there are 9 courses on the Open rota. We have RSG and STA already, but it would still take another 7 or 8 years probably for all the other courses to get here. Personally, I don't mind not having all the Open courses, just the best of them - mainly Turnberry, Birkdale, Carnoustie and Muirfield.

  I also agree about putting the "World" into "World Golf Tour". Even if it is just done with a few CTTH courses. Royal Melbourne is probably the obvious choice from Australasia, and the golfing community in Asia is growing rapidly with several large tournaments being held on excellent courses over there.

  As for Canada, there are some spectacular courses up in the mountains, although my pick would be the National Golf Club of Canada course. However, it is male-only and extremely exclusive in real life and has only ever held one Tour tournament I think.

  And all this is not forgetting the exciting prospect of TruGolf developments. Well. Maybe not.

  Jack.

  A course that used to be played on the European Tour, but I'm not sure if it still is, was Crans-sur-Sierre in Switzerland.  It was a very popular event and played a lot different to many other courses on the European Tour, so I think it would be a great addition to WGT.  Also, as someone has already mentioned, what about a course from either the Asian or Austrilasian tours.

  Considering that course is played 1500 meters above sea level, and if WGT would use the thin air effect we could see drives like 500 yards :)

  Has any1 given thought to Sheshan Intl. Golf Club in China???? One of my favorites on the tour. I also love the desert courses-like the WGC accenture match play course in Tuscon, AZ. Or put in TPC Scottsdale... I also love the wetland courses-natural in nature with marsh areas like TPC Boston or Pine Valley. I would love to see muirfield village, Kapalua, The Falls, Bay Hill, and I forget which course it is but the ones they play in Dubai for the Euro Tour... As for Australia, put in Royal Melbourne (genius), Kingston Heath, the lakes, and some other sand belt courses. 

  GET AUGUSTA NATIONAL BECAUSE THE MEMBERS WOULD BE WILLING TO PAY THE 60 CREDITS IT COSTS FOR CABO TO PLAY AUGUSTA (or at least I would) !!!!!! I have been able to experience courses a lot better in this game than in EA games and I liked Augusta in the EA game...I can't imagine how good it would be in WGT! Cabo Del Sol is a great course, but It is not worth 60 credits for 18 holes. Augusta would totally be worth it-maybe even more! I can only dream of the experience on WGT of going through Amen Corner and chipping my ball down the slope on 16 to make it. People talk about St. Andrews being golf in its purest form, but I believe that Augusta is golf in its purest form, at least in America... Get rid of a few CTTHs and add a few courses such as the ones I have suggested above and a lot more people will be hooked...

  Well counting Cabo we got 3 this year and we got 2 last year. I'm not sure about 2009 because when I joined in October of that year we already had BPB and Kia.I don't know when they were added but I seem to remember someone saying that you got them both in 2009 if so then we have had at least 2 courses a year for the past 3 years.
