  Can WGT add some courses to the ranked stroke play? Getting to the point where we are played out! Do we need to move on?

  Dont see how you could be played out . You only have 710 ranked rounds in 4 year old account L91 . You dont play A/S or M/P and even though you do play every day you still have a ways to go . There`s a thread that explains how courses are developed for the game >>>>>>>>> . I even read in a thread that it costs WGT about $250,000 dollars to create a course for the game . It takes time and money and Erin Hills is the next to be added to the game .

  Its a costly and also slow process to add courses to the game . If you belonged to a country club in real life you would have only 1 -3 courses to play . Those would cost you way more than the game does and you would be playing them far less than these as well . Get with your friends and club mates and set up rounds to play . Maybe the chatting and friendly play will make the game more interesting for you again .

  Don't see that in your course awards!

  There are quite a few missing - nothing on Olympic and on Erin Hills(?) Try to establish "Platinum" on all courses, then come back!

  If you were to tier up, you'd have a whole new set of courses. :-)

  I guess you didn't read. I asked for more courses in ranked stroke play. The courses are already in WGT.

   

  We need them to be available for ranked stroke play.

  Well, if I open up the game window and select Stroke Play and then Ranked, every single course on WGT is there to play, with the exception of some Closest to the Hole courses of course. There are 18 choices to choose from counting the Best Of's.  Not sure what you are trying to say here.

  Yes we read, but you were pretty vague.  It appears now that perhaps you are talking about the CTTH courses?  If so, for those to become full stroke play courses they would have to be completely photographed again and and all the work done to turn them into a full stroke play course.  The course owners would have to agree to have that done.  The cost factor of around $250,000 per course probably keeps that from happening.

  Looking at your stats, I noticed that you have never played The Olympic, Bandon Dunes, Erin Hills or any of WGT's the "Best of " courses.  That makes a total of 8 courses you already have available you aren't using.  Just something to think about.

  Well, I did read what you posted both originally and here. And have to say: I have no idea what point you're attempting to make.
  
  If you're playing mobile, I grant you that there's a couple of courses not available there (Cabo and Whistler). Otherwise, all of the courses are available to play.

  Not true, the CTTH and Biltz courses are not playable in full stroke games.

  I know that is because they were never photographed for that purpose.

  I realize that. But I meant all the full courses for PC are also available for mobile, save the two I mentioned. And because phred had already addressed the CTTH issue, I didn't feel a need to qualify my statement.
  
  I guess that the danger of shaving qualifiers for the simple goal of brevity. I should know better. But there it is.  
  
  Even so, I didn't know that blitz courses are full courses. In fact, I still don't know anything about blitz courses. 
  
  Nevertheless, I stand by my original statement: if the person wants variety, then tier up. The courses are a lot different (and, in my opinion, a lot more fun) from the tips.
