  Thanks, nicka420. Shot a 39 my first try (with starters still equipped from TIO). The #8 green is a little wonky yet, but I expect it will be fixed by the official release.

  yes thank you so much  nicka420 for the early peek at this beautiful course and to WGT for all the effort.

  Shot a 28 at my first game,its a birdie fest for sure.Should make my wgt experience more fun.This front9 is at par with st andy F9 and bethpage F9.

  Also its such a shame that wgt is becoming so exclusive recently.Course should be available to all but here we are playing it courtesy a good person's generosity.

  Wonder how much days or weeks it was available to the select few to play.

  Well done all

  My first try, i play too much conservative and score 31.

  It's a classic front 9, little bit too easy from blue tee but interesting

  Two par 5, Two  par 3 and five par 4.

  Lots of shorts holes with wedge on second shot and we can reach easily the two par 5 in two for eagle possibilitys.

  My second try, i take more risk and see the card :

  7 birdies, 1 eagle and 1 par, for a 27 

  Great players will score 25  everyday here

  Yes, can be easy off the Blues.   Still I enjoyed the game I played. 

  Wgt has a winner with this course

  Why are you so impatient?

  Not a reason to complain IMHO. They usually set a publishing date and give us bit after bit of the course. For USO courses, it's CTTH front and back, then the qualifier tournament etc.

  Here, they planned an exclusive Nation Sneek Peak, but someone from WGT opened the box in some RGs.

  It's not unusual to have the real sneek peaks by users' links like now.

  It will come to all WGTland, maybe with the VT event on Dec. 1 (?)
  Free play may follow in January, save any bugs coming up.
  Later, UELs and CC tourneys.

  Allow them some time to follow their agenda!

  I totally refute this......it is HIGH TIME Nation members get some exclusive benefits, so WGT get the thumbs up from me. A few lame tourneys just does not cut it IMO and like most things here, are out of date, poorly thought out or poorly implemented.

  Nation members ....er cough cough......are level 90 or legends as a minimum.......so they have earned the stripes for sneak previews IMO.

  As for the backdoor, a mate emailed me earlier as he had cracked it, and has subsequently been posted in here. The fact that it is often possible to gain access before new courses are officially released has always existed (lets hope they guard financial info a little better lol).

  on the 8th hole, the dots LIE. I had a putt from left of the hole that should have broke hard left to right. It is DEAD STRAIGHT. 

   

  May be a bug as we have seen in the US Open that putt breaks very hard left to right
