  A course I'm sure most of us have been waiting to play on here for some time now.

  Just finished the CTTH challenge and it's a stunner. Surely it has to be up there as there most beautiful golf course in the world!

  I'm sure I speak for others when I say that WGT would not be doing themselves and us a misfortune if they endeavor to make this a fully functional strokeplay course.

  Great work!

  Just for the record, these courses were here before.  I don't remember exactly when but a couple of years ago we had these two PB courses available as CTTH courses, we didn't have Blitz back then.  For a reason I never understood, WGT took them off the site after a few months of play.  Hopefully they are here to stay this time.

  They didn't stay on for long last time, perhaps a few months and I assumed they were taken off due to contractual obilgations. i too hope they are here to stay as the two PB courses are stunning. Pity they are not for stroke play - next surprise by WGT? lol Having said that I will not hold my breath - 2019. But really looking forward to Merion.

  Same here.   I'm really looking forward to Pinehurst next year as well.  Honestly I wish they would work to get us 2 stroke play and 2 CTTH each year.  The relationship with the British Open has stalled out it seems so I would just try to work with the PGA instead.

  I think the general consensus is that everyone wants more courses, more so than anything else they could produce on here. They make them so beautifully, but frustratingly so few and far between these days.

  Perhaps a US Open plus one other would be a good idea. I'm sure everyone thinks they have a golf course in their country that would merit creation on here. Anyone know what the word on Augusta is? 

  But, still happy to see Pebble is back...Was watching the Pro Am lastnight, it really is such a stunning place.

  P.S. Sun City Golf course would be a brilliant South African course to have on here! ;)

  Gotta say I was really excited to get to see PB....(My Girl isn't at all as enthusiastic). I didn't get to play the first time around. I'll throw this out there first to see what we all think.....What about U.S. Amatuer tracks? I worked in Portland at Waverley CC, the oldest CC in Oregon, and was fortunate enough to get to play it a few times. Tiger won one of his Amatuers there and it's immaculate. Rumour has it he hit a drive across the Willamette river.....Maybe a long drive comp in the making, huh? Been a while since I've been up there, but SF isn't that far away. One of Bandon Dunes would put it over the top.....Just sayin'

  We did have blitz when Pebble was here last and it was one of the most popular courses to play blitz on. I played almost all my blitz rounds on one of the 2 Pebble 9's.
