    Celebration WGT Golf Balls

    Celebrate special occasions or maybe just a long day on the job with a beer or champagne virtual golf ball on WGT!

    The Beer Ball on WGT features a foamy vapor trail and the Champagne Ball features a bubbly vapor trail, both to better trace your shot through the air.

    These virtual golf balls also make great gifts during the holiday season and can be found in the Pro Shop!

    Cheers!

  • CC Event #36 is Beginning to Feel a Lot Like...Winter

    01 Dec 2016

    Winter is coming here and so is CC Event #36 on WGT!

    Play this week's CC Event, featuring Snowman tee markers and flags, to hopefully help you embrace the holiday music and mall santas... At the very least, you'll be contributing to your club's XP by competing against other country clubs for in-game prizes.

    Go to Country Club Page

    CC Event #36 runs 12/1-12/2, 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.
