  There are many choices, but how about the Banff Springs Hotel course.  They host a Skins game every year and have hosted all the big names of the PGA for the event.  It is in the Rockie Mountains, so it will be beautiful to look at.  Quintessentially Canadian.

  If you were hoping for a Canadian course in full stroke play, expect it in TruGolf format at best. WGT only add courses that have hosted US Opens (women's US Open with Oakmont) or British Opens for full stroke play. If you want CTTH, I doubt that too.

  I would love to see Banff. One of my favorite courses in the old Links Golf game--fun, challenging, great scenery, never plays the same way twice.

  Shaughnessy Golf & Country Club · Vancouver, B.C., Canada 2011 Canadian Open as a option. Personally Predator Ridge in Kelowna BC. (2) Courses, ranked by some Golf magazines as the Best new course in 2010, has hosted a few skins games. Super nice!  Will leave it at that!

  Like SgtD says, the chances of getting a Canadian course in HD are slimmer than slim. However, there is a TruGolf version of Banff and it's been a while since Cabo was released so you can still hope if you so desire.

  I will say, however, that TWO has Banff. Also, it would likely be easier than even Cabo, as in my experience it has wide fairways, flat greens and a short length.

  If the chances are slim so be it.  I'm sure there are quite a few Canadian WGT players that would advocate for some Canadian content.  While I'm talking about Canadian courses would love to see Banff Springs.  There are some interesting courses from the East coast - Links at Crowbush; Highland Links on Cape Breton island.  At the very least we can do some wishful thinking.

  The questions are, would you pay $1 a round for it with bad graphics? Would you settle for just 9 shots in CTTH? Would you play it with bad graphics in a Ready-Go tournament?

  No.  Maybe , No.

  Having said that I think it would be great if WGT took into consideration their Canadian players (close friends and neighboursof the US) and had some Canadian content.  Do you know that Canada and the US have the longest undefended border between 2 countries of the entire world.  Let's do it WGT.
