  Basically they were shot with CCTH in mind. Merion had something like 300,000 photos taken - Wolf Creek and Pebble Beach have significantly less.

  The upside is we will get Pebble full stroke play in the future - sadly 2019 I  believe  (US Open)

  Probably for several reasons. Here are just 2 possibilites:

  1. Neither course was willing to allow WGT the time it takes to shoot sufficient images (as mentioned about 300,000 photos)  to make the entire course available for stroke play.

  2. Both courses wanted more money than WGT was willing to pay to make each entire course available for stroke play.

  LOL to Flintstones CC!

  A third reason against Pebble Beach is probably that they are/were bound to a contract with some other golf game.
