WGT Media

Yep you really suck
The game was fine as it was but you had to change it for no apparat reason the main reason was greed i suspect you think you will make more money in fact you will go defunct and there won't be any money for you or your employees you will cease to exist and guess what some other company will take your place and you will be forgotten, never to be mentioned again. So cheers to you you had a good game for a while but you let the pencil pushers tell you what to do and if you haven't realized the result of that you soon will
Toot aloo

No problem with the reviews stating it's a free site, agree 100%.
It's an individuals choice whether they want to purchase items to improve their play and chances. Its a silly on line game after all.
But... of course I am going to state a but... having purchased said 'Better items' of balls, clubs etc, it's amazing how every single course and hole that you pay having voluntarily spent you cash, become severely difficult, so that you lose those 'Better Balls' and the clubs you purchased in fact over play each hole.
WGT are in it to MAKE MONEY FROM ALL, Not for the fun of it. However, their tactics they clearly employ to remove the said purchased better items quickly from each player, means that their revenues keep rolling in... unlike those superb never miss a putt balls you bought... which get Lost in places where previously you were just in the rough and where a previously flat green on the same course suddenly becomes a ski slope! Clever, not Cricket but like all on line sites where you have a choice to purchase items... there will only ever be one winner... and it certainly will not be those handing over the cash.
Enjoy.

This games wants to to spend your money and nothing more! Sand traps are HUGE quarries that you won't be able to get out of! All the want to do is sell you balls, clubs etc. If your using a tablet, 1 nine hole course will eat more than 50% of your battery life! BOYCOTT TO SEND A MESSAGE THAT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF MORE ENTERTAINING GAMES! THIS GAME IS EXPECTED DESIGNED SO THAT YOU LEFT SE GOLF BALLS THAT YOU PAY FOR VERY EASILY! OH, LET ME ALSO MENTION THAT YOU GET BOOTED OUT VERY EASILY, LOSING ALL YOUR COINS! $#*! game!

While I am not trying to say that the creators of WGT are any less valuable as people, I must point out that this game had to be designed by someone who has no idea about how golf actually works. If you have even played golf or seen it on tv, you know that you can hit a ball out of the sand or rough loads farther in real life than you can on this game. In fact, the maximum distance that you hit clubs in this game is at most three times less than the average tour pro could. Another thing about the rough is that if your ball lands in grass taller than one inch, you lose about one hundred yards on the shot. If by some chance you make lethally accurate contact with the ball, I feel it is my duty to tell those who haven't rage quit yet that the club yardages are crap. The distance they give you accounts for how far the ball rolls after it lands, and depending on the firmness of the ground and the speed and direction of the wind, you are lucky if you get the ball to go three quarters of its already restricted distance. Lastly, I want all you to tell me if you have ever seen a ball hook left with 30 mile per hour cross winds from the right, yet slice like a darn boomerang in 3 mile per hour cross winds from the left. Can you say the word "PHYSICS"!

World Golf Tour is an online program where you can play virtual golf rounds. It touts itself as being "free" for anyone who joins as a member. What they don't tell you is that in order to actually enjoy the game you have to spend $$$ to purchase balls and clubs that hit reasonably well. The best part about this completely customer-hostile site and its employees is that the clubs and balls you buy with money depreciate over time. You buy a driver for $8 they will buy it back for $2 almost immediately. Balls you purchase last only a game or two and must be constantly replenished because the free balls and clubs are extremely hard to control, by design.

Here's the worst part: WGT Customer Service is consistently hostile, unresponsive, and not helpful, and submitting complaints are grounds for deletion of your account. In my experience with WGT, when I reported a programming fault to WGT, they did nothing to remedy it. Their solution to deal with complaints was to terminate my account.

My solution is simple: I will file a credit card chargeback for all the money I spent on this game, and I encourage anyone else who has experienced WGT's poor customer service to do the same.

It is clear this game is ONLY out for your money. I have extensive experience with applied statistics and this game appears to adjust the variance for players once they own clubs for a while.

From playing over 500+ hours it seems like the longer you own a set of clubs, the bigger the variance gets. This makes shots less accurate and you're ultimately forced to spend more for club upgrades. When I first bought new clubs the variance is set low - as you play and play, the variance seemingly grows making shots more difficult. To consistently do well you have to keep spending money.

It only makes sense for the programmers to make the game more difficult for players who pay money because these players have demonstrated a commitment to spend money. These are the players WGT should be catering to by making a game with integrity. But in the end, the almighty dollar wins out and WGT KNOWS it can't get money from players who don't spend anything. Their recurring revenue source will instead have to cone from players who have already shown they will spend money on the site.

I wish someone would file a class action lawsuit against the developers of this game. It should be easy to gain discovery of the coding method and show they fraudulently rig the game for profit and deceive the consumer.

I have been a member of wgt for over a year now and I have taken many videos and screenshots of the game manipulation by wgt. Yes a free game, but don't expect to continue to be free because you cannot level up or even compete with the free equipment. The cost is astronomical. By the time you reach legend, you would have already had to upgrade 2 or 3 times. Then you have 2 more ranks to go and that will get you in by at least 2 or 3 more upgrades. And then you have to pay for decent balls, averaging $6 for a pack of 3 that last less than two 18 hole rounds per ball. Do the math, it waaaay more expensive to play this game than to go to your local club and play. Those who tell you its free, are typically hacks with no concept of how this game works. Not only do you have those costs, but then wgt manipulates your clubs, balls and course conditions to cost you more money. This is a very expensive game, don't let anyone tell you any different. I am a level 103 champion with an scoring average of 51.75 which puts me in the top 50 of all time low averages. You cannot level up or go up in rank without spending money. WGT says there are "FREE" credits to pay for equipment, but you will need to spend your money to get most of those not to mention most of those credit opportunities never pay out. As of late, WGT also records your movements on the net by putting tracking cookies on your computer. They sell your email information putting you in danger of ID theft. Bottom line? Stay away from this site if you value your privacy and your money.

The game is totally out of control. A drive, 10 mile an hour wind in your face, club says 255, hit it flush and it goes 255... no wind resistance, next show, 230 yards, club shows 227, hit flush, goes 190, for the same 10 mile per hour wind... next time I use the same wood, the balls goes 265 yards... no sense to what is happening... every third shot from a bunker (which every ball goes into no matter how close or great a shot I take) does what the meter shows, the rest flub back into the sand or go 30 yards over the green... total sh*t show and I did spend some money to get the good clubs... If I don't use the most expensive balls, the clubs work the same as the free ones... if I do spend the money on the balls, they are like magnets out of bounds and into the water... I have been back to this game 3 or 4 times hoping for better changes, but now I am done with it... I'm not a scratch golf in real life and don't expect to be in the game, but the difference in what is expected (after playing a lot) and the results can't be defined as conditions, wind or unlucky bounced...

I have decided - no more buying balls/ clubs. I will only use this site for a time pass from now on. This is a complete rip off. The lifetime of balls is a complete joke only designed to rip you off and they make continuous money. Plus the dirty tricks they constantly employ in the game. This is not golf. Golf is a much better and professional sport but these crooks made it a money laundering machine here.
There is no regard for your skills on using the controls and play golf. It is they who decide who each of your shots/putts go. It is they decide who can / should and will Win or who will and should lose. You will be forced to lose balls at regular intervals.

Absolute joke. And PLEASE DO NOT PUT A PENNY.

Unless you want those phony titles and skill level titles etc. I have lost so much money on this site and regretting now. I can't really say much other than - please do not spend money - play real golf using the same money with real clubs and real balls. You will have much more value for your money and time. You can really get good clubs and balls with the same money in real life.

I joined the site in 2014. It seemed harmless enough until I began to do well, with beginner equipment, then my account was disabled. You have to have a new email to open a new account, then weeks later disabled again. Four accounts later, all disabled after a few weeks of play. NEVER INVEST A DIME AS THEY CAN DISABLE YOUR ACCOUNT ON A WHIM. FURTHERMORE, THERE IS NO "*******@WORLDGOLFTOUR.COM" site to explain details or a reason for their asinine decision or actions. A sorry excuse for a game site.
