    Cournoustie would be a good course since there's only one links course on WGT.(St.Andrews.) It would also be a good challenge espeically teh hole were Jon Van De Vel messed up completeley.(Hole eighteen.)Royal Birkdale because tehre's no course from England on WGt and it's a good course.

    I have played over in Scotland and Carnoustie is one of my favorites.  I fully believe that both Turnberry and Carnoustie are the class of golf in the kingdom.  Don't know if WGT is going to spend the bucks to put another course from there on but those two would be great adds.

    Thanks! I really want Cornoustie! You right though it would be a great addition to WGT. Gleneagles would be great too!

    Yeah, a good mix of links courses and American style courses is where this game shold head. Muirfield is the king of links courses.

    An other suggestion would be Royal Melbourne, fantastic course and would add an international flavour to the game.

    I have not played Royal Melbourne, I did play a course in Chicago that was designed to be a similar tract and it was fantastic.   It would be nice to add one more Scottish course, my vote would be Carnoustie or Turnberry.  Then RM would be great and add several of the favored US courses, like Harbour Town or TPC-Sawgrass

    As WGT have signed a deal with the R & A, there are bound to be more British courses coming along and the 2011 Ladies British Open is being held at Carnoustie. Didn't we get Oakmont as a result of the US Ladies Open being held there this year? Quite possible, I'd say.

    Yup. A good mix of Links,American and some International courses would be great! I wish we could get Carnoustie and Royal birkdale and Muirfield would be good aswell.
