  Just curious as to why we can't play Cabo or Whistler anymore for Skins or Ready Go's?

  No firm information available, but we've also noticed that they are no longer in the Best-Of collections.

  Best guess: There may have been some contractual changes which caused the development.

  Since WGT was acquired by Topgolf, they're kind of competitors to Trugolf, makers of Cabo and Whistler.

  For a short period Cabo and Whistler were free for WGT Nation members. But prior to that you had to pay a green fee for them. Why they don't show up in the Weekly Stroke Play tourney's, and RG's is a bit of a mystery. I see they are only available now, in match and stroke play for 40 credits.

  They were?  Damn, I missed that.

  I really like both courses, despite them being of the cartoon variety.  They both have a nice mixture of tricky and relatively easy holes.  There are par 5 holes that are usually reachable in 2 shots and a few holes that really have different options as to how to play them.

  It's a shame they got dropped from the weekly tournaments.  Perhaps someone from WGT could provide us with some information as to why................?

  I think Zag hit the "nail on the head"--they're competitors

  I don't think that is it. It is not Topgolf and Trugolf that are competitors. Trugolf is into simulators not driving ranges. WGT is getting many ads, special tournament and special offers for the members from Trugolfs big competitor SkyTrak.
