    First of all, I appreciate WGT's move as it proves that they are listening to their loyal users and trying to think of ways to make more stroke play courses available quicker. It's clear that WGT has to compromise somewhere to achieve this goal.

    Having played Coba earlier today, however, I confess that I wasn't taken by the graphics. What I love about WGT is the level of detail and accuracy, based on their 3D photorealistic georeferencing technology. This is what sets WGT apart from TWO and other online golf games, and I'm relieved to hear that they will continue to develop WGT-produced courses that are provided free of charge.

    What makes Coba and other TruGolf courses even less attractive is that ironically these courses with inferior graphics are pay-to play, other than the WGT-produced courses. I can see that WGT needs to charge a greens fee if the TruGolf courses are licensed, but altogether I'm skeptic (despite the good intentions!) that this business idea will pay off.

    But in any case this should silence the constant whining about new courses. The update proves that WGT cannot introduce their own produced courses at a rate as TWO and others, so either users should appreciate and take advantage of WGT's latest move, or keep silent and wait patiently for future WGT-produced courses - in my opinion the best virtual golf courses around.

    I just played the first two shots in CTTH mode and it is awful. Not even curious what the rest looks like.

    Again, I will NOT be paying for greens fees. As someone posted earlier, I already pay for balls, Im not paying for courses as well. WGT, Ill pay for one or the other, not both.

    thatcanadianguy:

    I Guess Free Is Not Free Anymore.

     

    After all the money I have put in to WGT and now they are charging Green Fees.

    They can stick their green fees up their A$.

    Especially for a cartoon.

    FULL ACK!

    I spent now round about over 100$ for clubs, balls and even more balls and so on. And now you want money to play a course??? Not with me! The idea of playing free is good. The idea to take money when you wanna play better (equipment) is good. The idea to take money for everything that is clickable is bull ***.

    Wow!  8 pages of (negative) posts already, and it's only a couple of hours old!  And amazing how many 1st time posters have come out of the woodwork.  All that has got to say something.

    I just played it and the graphics are unlike WGT at all and I don't like the fact that they don't show the rough, etc I like the old WGT courses better.

    I'll wait for WGT courses tell Trugolf to hit it where the sun don t shine...Never paying $1.00 for a green fee.ever, I have been a member for 3 yrs going on 4 just sad how you over charge for virtual items and now charging us more for more crap rather than give us what we want some WGT courses and a 300 yrd driver and some new avatars and alternate shot match play challenges, Give me a break WGT, get a clue...
