    21 Mar 2019

    Compete today through Fri, 3/22 in CC Event #95 for these flashy tees and flags.

    We didn't have basketball tee markers ready to go, but thought these similarly-shaped disco balls would work as a stand-in...

    Play against other clubs to win these and other in-game rewards like Course Builder currency for the top 500 clubs to create custom courses.

    PS, did you know: You can earn up to 2X Country Club XP, carry even more CC Passes and generate Passes faster with a WGT Plus or Premier Membership? Upgrade now and the benefits last for an entire year!

    CC Event #95 runs 3/21-3/22 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.
