  I recall Pebble full stroke course was to be done in November.  This was months ago.  Also, best of Bandon par threes.  What is the status of these new additions?

  The public never knows for sure...

  A mod (Shoe?) explained that a new course would be available for the Tour Championship. This starting on 12-02, there's not much time left for upload and players' training.

  Thanks.  I found something with a 12/10 date.  So we are getting close.  I think we are all hungry for something new!

  Hopefully a long downtime on Weds/Thurs will precede some progress.

  Did WGT say that? However November would have been about 6 months after PBGL was photographed. It takes WGT 6 months or so to produce a new course.

  Bandon Dunes was photographed some months before Pebble Beach was. The photography of PBGL was apparently started on April 30, 2014.

  At one point Bandon Dunes was scheduled to be one of the Virtual Tour courses, but was subsequently removed from that schedule prior to it's scheduled date.

  I suspect an issue came up regarding the agreement between WGT and Bandon Dunes that has prevented Bandon Dunes from being added to WGT.

  The reason both Pebble and Bandon  Dunes were delayed was the time frame when they got the agreement with the PGA and shooting and programming Valhalla to have it ready for the PGA championship. They had to drop what they were doing with both courses and concentrate on Valhalla.

  Maybe even sooner,I hope. Sunday is the last day of the month so they could have an update Sunday/Monday and have everything ready for December 1st.

  Above is took fro WGT news, we discussed this previous and the consensus was Pebble Beach, dont think WGT would have the top 4 players playing Bandon Dunes as its Par 3.
