  • We're celebrating 50, time to party!

    22 Jun 2017

    This week marks our 50th CC Event and to celebrate, we're doubling the prizes!

    Join the celebration by playing WGT for these festive party hat tee markers and flags.

    Today and tomorrow, compete against other clubs for in-game rewards. We've doubled the number of clubs that will win this week, so party hat tee markers and flags, AND Course Builder currency for the top 1,000 clubs.

    CC Event #50 runs 6/22-6/23, with multiple 4-hour Clashes, so be sure to play as many games as you can for your club and keep your eyes on the leaderboard.

    CC Events allow WGT Country Clubs to compete against each other for bragging rights 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.
