  You are correct philspace ...

  Olympic is the next course to be added.

  If you go to the Championship Zone and click 

  Future Courses icon you can see all of the courses to be added for the next few years.

  All are scheduled.

  philspace:

  as far as I know the Olympic course, Merion and Royal St Annes & Lytham all are rather short courses under 7,000 yards. 

  Wiki (not the most reliable source, I know) has Olympic at 6,948 yards, Lytham at 7,118 yards and Merion at 6,842 yards although I suspect all three courses may be lengthened for the Opens. As for shorter courses holding up, StA plays just 6,721 yards so it's not as much in the length of the course as how it's set up.

  Boy those overhead shots DO look familiar! This course is going to be so much fun to play on here and I can't wait for it. It's absolutely beautiful in person, though my view was only from the clubhouse and adjacent grounds as I am far too much of a hack to attempt to play the thing in real true life.

  #7 will be fun on WGT...just about perfect for the R11 with full backspin...We will get more eagles there than anywhere else in the game (unless Cabo stays)...
