  • Flamingos in the house

    23 Jul 2016

    Compete for your country club in this weekend's CC Event #28, going on NOW through 7/24.

    We're bringing everyone's favorite lawn ornament to WGT this weekend, in the form of these flamingo tees and flags!

    Compete against other clubs for club status and in-game rewards, including these new tees and flags.

    Go to Country Club Page 

    CC Events allow WGT Country Clubs to compete against each other for golf glory and special in-game rewards. The club that earns the most total points from their Clashes wins.

    Each Event is made up of Club Clashes that last for a limited amount of time (usually a few hours). When your club enters the event, you'll get matched with another club close to your skill level, and a timer will show how much time is left in that Clash. Club members from both clubs can play as many rounds as they want during that time, using Club Passes and Superpasses to earn points.
