This week's Country Club of the Week is... the Squirrel Killers, a new, small club that's working to level up quickly.

Squirrel Killers currently has 54 members who have been actively working to level-up the club, earning more than 1.2 million XP (experience points). The club has reached Club Level 6, unlocking a number of country club benefits, including a free Putter Pal and Shot Pal for all of their members and earning +5% Club XP when members play using a Pass. Keep playing using CC Passes to level up your club to unlock these benefits too!

Club owner LillaSzak describes the growth of the Squirrel Killers as a WGT Country Club -- which is also actively looking for more members if you're looking to join a new club...

"Squirrel Killers is a new CC, only established 2 months ago. Thru hard work, our close-knit family has reached Level 6 and 51 members. We love our Alternate Shots and Match Play, socialzing is very important in our CC. We recognize that there's a real person behind that avatar and WGT name. So between all the golf compliments and condolences, we share a few jokes, a lil smile and a bit of gossip (giggles). Thru our many inter-CC competitions, "Squirrels" have won over lots of friends. Our little family is hoping to grow some more, as individuals and as players, all with a sense of fun. All levels are catered to, from Tour Legend superstars to fun-loving hacks lol. If you're a social, active player please feel free to join :)"

The first WGT CC vs CC Event is now over. Thanks to all the clubs and players who participated, and congratulations to the winning country club AUGUSTA NATIONAL CC.

This is a new feature that we'll be continuing to improve, so we appreciate all your feedback, and we'll run another event soon with the improvements.

The table below shows the Rewards that clubs earned in the first CC vs CC Event, which are based on the points members earned on the final Event leaderboard. 

Members in the top 1,000 country clubs have earned rewards, that will be awarded automatically, and include bonus CC Passes, Speed Boosts, and 1 gold MAX CC Putter you've all been hearing about.

For their first place finish, members from AUGUSTA NATIONAL CC that played in this Event will each get the following...

• 5 extra CC Passes
• 4 Speed Boosts (Ultra)
• And 1 MAX CC Putter for the club, which is awarded to 1 player chosen by the club owner

For the clubs that finished between #11-25, all the club members that played will each get 4 extra CC Passes and 3 Speed Boosts (Plus), and so on.

Play the first WGT CC vs CC Event, starting at 12PM PDT today thru tomorrow.

WGT Country Clubs can now play against each other for glory and new in-game rewards, including winning some of the best new equipment in the game.

When a CC vs CC Event starts, anyone in your country club can enter your club. Once your club is entered, you'll get matched with another club as close to your club's skill level, and a timer will show how much time is left in each Club Clash.

Each Club Clash will be played on nine-holes at either Bethpage Black, Kiawah or St Andrews. Post as many good rounds as you can for your country club, using either a Club Pass or a new Superpass to multiply your points. Winning clubs receive additional bonus points, and the top club wins the new MAX CC Putter.

Club owner mreddy remembers when he first started this club, on May 5, 2010, naming it after the area in which he lives. He went on to explain that the club runs regular tournaments, including front 9, back 9 and daily CTTH challenges. Plus, they celebrate holidays and special events by awarding special prizes He had this to add about his growing country club...

"I believe the Carolina Sandhills has been very successful. I've always asked anyone who joins the Sandhills to be kind and respectful to others and we have some really nice people in the club."

Club Tournaments consist of a Front 9 and Back 9 and a CTTH challenge daily. We also celebrate most all holidays and special events with prizes awarded. We have an end of the month Championship and a Matchplay Madness every month. It is a good way for members to meet others in the club."
