Why Are Some Courses Limited to 9 Holes or Challenge?

  Just wondering, courses like Pebble Beach, Harbour Town,Pinehurst #8, Valhalla, etc. are limited to 9-holes or Challenges.  I just started WGT last week and am at Pro Tier and Level 31.  Do those limited courses open-up as you progress or are they locked from becoming 18-hole courses?

  As a newcomer is tough to play a computer golf game and realize that in real life, I can hit my drives and irons farther than I can currently in WGT.  Got to get some credits to improve the club quality.  Getting to the Max CC Putter for 400,000 is somewhat ridiculous..

  All members may access all courses equally.

  Those courses limited to CTTH and Blitz have no provision to become full courses. In short, the photos neccessary have not been shot there.

  Only exception is Pebble Beach. It was opened as a 9 hole full course recently, and we hope to get the missing half at some time. Rumour has it to come anytime in 2016, alas,

  they are WGT, hope is futile.

  Tony, that club was only created to cause chaos and turmoil for some nasty two faced lady and her country club. It is not a realistic club you would want in your bag. Learn the courses and the techniques a bit and slowly upgrade your clubs as you level up. Many good people on here will give you great advice as you get there so always ask what is best for you before buying into new equipment. Good luck and have fun, it's a great game!

  Take it as the Golden Calf, with proper consequences.

  Started last week. You are getting good too quick. You might find it difficult in the higher Tiers on a low level at this rate.

  No courses are locked, everybody can play em.  As said previously the ctth courses are not full courses.  Pebble is only Front9 at the moment and we are waiting for the back9 to be released.

  Treat Wgt as a game and have fun. 

  Don't worry bout the Golden Putter, have a look at the Pro Shop for the normal clubs everybody has
