So from what I read on GoNintendo, it seems like all DLC tracks are playable online, but they only show up if all players have downloaded the DLC. Sounds like you won't be playing the DLC courses online much unless there's a lot of people getting the DLC!
I imagine a lot of people will get the DLC. Certainly the people around here. Courses should mostly start showing up in our league tournaments, unless someone joins up who doesn't normally play.
It appears to be some confusion with how online works actually, GoNintendo is now saying that you'll have an option of playing with DLC courses or not as well as exclusively playing DLC courses. I guess we'll find out in a week! But yeah, I expect to find them in our tournaments soon enough.

We have a whole thread for that, matey! Tourney deets (times, code to get in) are in the first post, and folks'll often make a new post whenever they have a set time they can play.
