  • FAQs: Course Pass

    25 Mar 2025

    What is Course Pass?

    Course Pass is a one-time purchase that grants you early access to Quail Hollow seven weeks before its public release on May 15th.

    What can I do with a Course Pass?

    You can play Quail Hollow before its public release in:

    • Exclusive Tournaments

    • Single Player Games (ranked and practice)

    • Stroke Play Multiplayer

    • Match Play

    • Alternate Shot

    • Skins

    • Country Club Tournaments

    How can I get a Course Pass?

    Players can get a Course Pass in three ways:

    • Credit promotion, running 3/26 (starts 3 PM PT) - 3/28

      • Buy 2,000 credits or more to receive a free Course Pass

    • Course Pass bundle (USD 19.99) (Available 3/29 - 5-14)

      • This bundle in the Pro Shop includes a course pass, a special limited edition Quail Hollow apparel set, three limited edition Quail Hollow virtual golf balls, 50,000 coins and 500 credits

    • Premier and Plus Memberships

      • Players with Premier or Plus memberships will receive a free course pass with their memberships

    If I have a Course Pass, can I only play Quail Hollow with others who have a Course Pass?

    No! With Course Pass, you can create multiplayer games and invite your friends to play Stroke Play, Match Play, Alternate Shot and Skins even if they don’t have a Course Pass!

    Can I create a Quail Hollow tournament in my country club?

    Yes! But you must have a Course Pass, and only those in your club with a Course Pass can play.

    Who can enter a Country Club tournament on Quail Hollow?

    Only club members with a Course Pass can play tournaments on Quail Hollow until our Course Pass program ends.

    How long does Course Pass last?

    Your Course pass lasts until Quail Hollow's public release on May 15th.

    What happens if my Premier or Plus membership expires before Course Pass ends?

    If your membership expires before Course Pass, your Course Pass will expire along with it. Be sure to renew your membership so you don’t lose access to Quail Hollow and all the awesome benefits.

    What happens when my Course Pass expires on May 14th?

    Beginning May 15th, Quail Hollow will be available for all WGT players in most game modes. Implementing it in some game modes like our regular Coin Rooms will take a little longer.

    I already have a Premier or Plus Membership, but I want the apparel in the bundle! How can I get it?

    We’ve made a special Quail Hollow bundle for players already with a course pass that comes with all the items from the bundle (except a course pass because you already have it) at a reduced price.

    When will Quail Hollow be publicly released?

    May 15th.

    Is there a way to play Quail Hollow before May 15th without a Course Pass?

    Yes, you can ask a friend with a Course Pass to invite you to a multiplayer game, or, starting May 1st, there will be a special tournament on Quail Hollow that all players can play. But waiting is hard!

    Why did you create Course Pass?

    New courses are the #1 thing we get asked about, and Course Pass is an opportunity for our community to partner with us to bring more courses to WGT.

  • Happy Monday – Winner's Circle Is Here

    24 Mar 2025

    Just like clockwork, Winner’s Circle is back again. This time, we’re heading to Valhalla hole 7!

    New to Winner’s Circle? We’ve got you covered – it’s simple to play! Land your ball in one of the colored rings around the hole (props to you if you can sink it) to win prize chests. Prize chests are color-coordinated with each ring and include apparel packs, golf ball sleeves and more. All players get one free shot, but additional shots are available for purchase.

    To ensure this is a fair test of accuracy, all players will use designated Winner’s Circle clubs so everyone is on a level fairway!

    Three things to keep in mind:

    • Winner’s Circle is a limited-time event, but any remaining unused purchased shots will stay in your inventory for the next Winner’s Circle event

    • Don’t let the timer expire, or you will lose that shot!

    • The only change from shot to shot will be minor wind direction and speed changes

    We’ll see you in the Winner’s Circle!

    Qualifying Round

    • The qualifying round lasts three days

    • Players have a daily chance each day of the qualifying round to secure their spot in the elimination round

    Elimination Round

    • The elimination round lasts two days

    • Players only get one chance to grab a spot in the final round, unlike the qualifying round

    • The top 50% of the elimination round leaderboard advance to the final round

    Final Round

    • If you’ve made it this far, you’ll receive a prize no matter what, but the higher you rank, the bigger the prizes

    Other Things to Know

    • We base scoring on total strokes, meaning the fewer shots you take to complete your matches, the higher you rank on the leaderboard

    • Incomplete or forfeited holes score as bogeys

    Hard Hat Showdown is open to all players on WGT for PC, WGT for Mac, and WGT Golf Mobile!

    *Hard Hat Showdown runs from 3/3/25-3/9/25.
