  You can play individual holes in the WGT community page, i played the first hole, 3 iron of the tee, into the edge of the bunker 80-90% brush.......nice!!

   

  

  Thanks for the tip Andy.I have played the 1st 7 holes only,but i'm already enjoying the course looks really good.

  No, but you can play hole by hole from courses under WGT Community.

  With Low wind, Standard Speed Greens and the front(ladies) tees I played it with all starter gear and ball, one hole at a time keeping my own score.  Shot -10 first go. Perhaps the slow greens and low wind helped a bunch but I didn't find the course nearly as hard as I had hoped it would be. Really would rather play it in Uneven Lies. The hole descriptions make mention of down hill, side hill approach shots. Playing it in pretend flatlands mode, the top players will no doubt be scoring 52-54 the first day.

  I just managed to shoot 49 on Pinehurst............................however I didn't finish the last 6 holes.

  Just kidding hope to see it up and running soon.  Having played the course in real golf a number of times, I'm curious to see what it looks like on WGT.  It is a somewhat unique course, greens that can be as difficult as Oakmont, rough that can be a bad as Merion but with the clubs that we have on WGT I don't expect it to be that hard.  

  The championship green speed would make it tough but as Cerino mentioned above the course would be much more difficult on uneven lies.

  The backdoor method can get you a ranked round.  But be careful what you wish for.  My first go round didn't go so well.  The length of this course is extreme and the champ greens will get you.  It will be very key to learning where to try to leave your approach for a semi-decent putt.  Hole 4 is a par 4 that from the tips I hit full driver and full 3-wood and barely reached the front edge - with a slightly helping cross wind.  The way that course felt after one round to me is like taking all of the hardest and longest holes from Oakmont, Olympic, and Merion and making an entire course out of them.  Few easy birdies at least for a first time through.
