    CC Event #65 runs 1/25-1/26 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!

    Here's how it works. Each event is made up of Club Clashes which last for a limited amount of time (usually a few hours). When your club enters the event, you'll be matched to play with a similar skill level club. Start playing! A timer will keep track of how much play is left in that Clash. Club members from both sides can play as many rounds as they'd like during that time using Club Passes and Superpasses to earn points.

  • Goals, Goals, Goals... These Are Ours!

    10 Jan 2018

    The beginning of a new year means new goals. As we embark on 2108, we put our staff to the test and asked them what their in-game goals are. Because as you can imagine, we play WGT too.

    Here's what a few of us are resolving to do in 2018.

    Who: Software Engineer
    WGT Resolution: This year, I'd like to place in the top 10 of an internal WGT Virtual Tour tournament.

    Who: Marketing Manager
    WGT Resolution: For 2018, I'd like to take a few strokes off my score by upping my putting game. I want to sink some putts this year.

    Who: Social Strategist
    WGT Resolution: With all the new apparel that's out, I'd like to try them all in 2018 and find the best combination for my game.
