    I realize I am a relatively new guy since I've been only 11 months now.

    No new courses have been added since I've been here.  WGT did get new owners in Top Golf but there does'nt seem to be all that close.  WGT doesn't advertise  Top Golf  or visa versa since last time I was at top golf.

    Have they ever added new courses and do you think they will add any in the future?

    They have a contract with the USGA to add each years US Open course, hence we will get Erin Hills sometime next summer. Oakmont was already in the game this year so they got a pass. I'm afraid it seems if anyone wants WGT to go above and beyond these minimum obligations, they may need to approach Topgolf and fund new courses themselves or buy shares of the company.

    Some hope for additional sets of pins which they should have in their drawers, following their statements ("two sets per course, for every course"), but

    They are WGT, so hope is futile.

    I don't think Pebble Beach was up and running 11 months ago.

    I could be wrong though, I often am.

    New pin placements on all courses next week and a free sleeve of balls per week for players that enjoy the game...........

    No player that 'enjoys' the game would actually want this. 

     

    Free balls = no revenue for wgt = company eventually dies

    This to me is WGT/Topgolf's biggest weak spot....I see no reason with the money they bring in not to have more courses...All the bugs after updates is also bad dont get me wrong...Buy you can only play the same courses so many times...

    No Paul You aren't wrong. We got the front  9 in November or December and then the back 9 in early spring after the Top Golf buy out.
