    Three new 18 hole courses are in the works:

    Soon we will get - Bandon Dunes - 18 par 3 holes from the Bandon Dunes Resort golf courses.

    A month or 2 later - Pebble Beach Golf Links - 18 holes for stroke play.

    Chambers Bay - 2015 US Open venue. Look for it about March 1, 2015 for Virtual US Open Qualifying.

    Once WGT visits a course and makes the 200,000 to 300,000 photos they need, it takes an additional 6 months or so to produce the course for play.

    All started in Oct. 2014, 6 ranked rounds between them & they're asking for more courses? Just messing with the WGT community, can't be serious.

    ^^^^^This!  They gotta be trolling.

    That's what they claimed they could do (6 months start to finish including the shoot IIRC).  But the record clearly shows much longer than 6 months production time.

    According to MisterWGT's profile page blogs

    They shot Merion in June 2013.  But they released the full 18 it May 2014: 11 months

    They shot Pebble Beach in April 2013 and it is still not released 18 months later

    And according to WGT's FaceBook page they shot Bandon Dunes last November and it is still not released 11 months later.

    Sounds like WGT has severe production problems.

    I'm not convinced WGT needs more courses at this moment in time, unless maybe you're someone who has been playing here for like 3 years or something, or just get bored easily. Because I do notice that things like wind speed and direction do change from game to game or day to day, just like at the course you love to play at home.

    Unless you've achieved the level of game where you're under par *every time* at the end of 18 on any one of the WGT courses up there now, it's not a matter of WGT needing "more courses". Rather, it's  a matter of maybe you should buy better clubs or just put in the work needed to play better with the clubs and balls you do have.

    BTW, I say "you" meaning people in general, not you personally.

    Very good post Sabu and welcome to the forums.

    Yes it would be nice to have more courses, and often those who ask for them are gamers, and are not willing to put in the time and effort to master what is already here.

    The game has gone ahead in leaps and bounds over the years, and the courses we do have are excellent. And to this day I still get one of the panned shots and think..."I have never seen that before".

    I do agree with Andyson, that there does seem to be an issue with the speed of development - but a look at the errors the current crop of programmers cause, perhaps they have lost that confidence - it certainly isn't QA that slows it down. It could also explain why they always have jobs going - perhaps they are paying peanuts....

    As for the family of cheeses - there used to be a CC full of them and I assume these are from the same crop....or culture of them.

    Whilst some new courses would be welcome, and I'm sure that given time they will....as promised...

    However, what  the game would benefit from, and in my opinion would give more of a challenge and variety, is for some more pin placements......I am sure this must have been raised before in this Forum. In real golf the pin is usually moved every few days, here however their seems to be 2 placements and that's it. Surely a bit more movement would add to the enjoyment of playing, especially in multi rounds and 4 round tournaments..
