If you purchased these three courses you are certainly entitled to play them. I would be mad as hell if I did and could not. My question,is there anyone here that did not purchase any of the three mentioned courses who is able to play any one or all three of them? Why release all the others and hold back these three? There has to be some kind of underlying reason for doing this.

Yes it does smack of a licensing issue jurgie and the only thing I can think of is they aren't allowing anyone to have those 3 courses free of charge.
I have contacted Andrew about these 3 courses and will hopefully get a reply back from him.

This fixed an issue for Tbone whereby he couldn't see Muirfield Village in-game.

I sent the following via PP message to Andrew ...
Hi Andrew,
Are you able to clear up where we stand with the pay to play courses please ...
Royal Birkdale, Royal Troon and Sedgefield CC Ross
The other pay courses are now freely available to all players, it seems since the recent update, but the 3 listed above are not and only show for players who actually paid for them. All 3 still appear in everyones "Courses" folder. On your Social page Royal Birkdale and Sedgefield CC Ross aren't even showing. Royal Troon is still there but throws an error if you click on "Purchase". The other courses which are now free still show the "Purchase" option as well which makes no sense now they are showing in the PG carousel and are freely playable.
who has now replied ...
These three courses are no longer available for purchase, however if you have bought it it should remain available
Therefore as no-one can now purchase them or get them for free I have now prevented the above 3 courses from appearing in the PGLS Courses database.

Fortunately we have many, many courses to choose from when considering those that come with the D/L of the game and the community's Designers.
That was a logical decision for several reasons, Mark.

There are also user made replacements for Birkdale (Southport Links) and Sedgefield (Sedgefield Ross), none for Troon.

If you can play those 3 Ian, then you purchased them. They never became free like the other P2P courses.

Thank you Mark, for trying to shed some light on this three course issue. After giving it some thought, copyright issues seem to have reared their ugly heads. lol I appreciate the attention you have given this matter.

Do Trackman VG1/VG2 users still have access to the courses that PG1 users no longer do?
