Here are some early screenshots of the course! Here is the official preview of the new 2020 Wyoming course.

“The cell phone coverage is spotty, and in some places, nonexistent. But the views at Grand Tetons are perhaps the most vibrant Golden Tee has ever known—a place where the joys of fall golf can be celebrated and appreciated all year long. Snow capped mountains serve as the backdrop for this Wyoming-based course, which feels more like a trek into a wilderness than a round of golf.

There is something special about getting lost out here, where familiar golf elements seem amplified. And the surrounding mountains will provide quality scenes along with plenty of drops and climbs that will have a say on your scorecard, one way or another.“

Here is a 6-hole preview and discussion from the Golden Tee lounge!

GT Par is most commonly -xx to -yy here, with the dependent setups on #a and #b.

This post contains tips, tricks, and information related to the 2020 Golden Tee course Grand Teton! Check out the hole-by-hole breakdowns and example hole-outs as I partner up with the Golden Tee community to give you the edge you need to beat your friends!

The GTF club set of choice will be posted below, with the preferred ball being x for advanced players and y for casual players.

Grand Teton — Hole #1: Par 4

With some boxes this hole is drivable — here’s an opening ace from a pretty close box.

Grand Teton — Hole #2: Par 4

This hole is often drivable as well. However, if you’re not quite sure, you can sort of bail out to the right (or even the left) to ensure you don’t get wet and still give yourself a chip at eagle.

Here’s a 9-iron hole-out from the fairway.

Here’s an ace with the 3-hybrid.

Grand Teton — Hole #4: Par 5

Here you’ll normally just hug the right side of the fairway to give yourself an open approach at the pin.

You’ll often use a tee here to move left, if nothing more, so that you have a straight approach around/over the trees down into this green.

Here’s a towering 8-wood that drops in the cup.

Grand Teton — Hole #7: Par 5

The best setups allow you to high-tee a driver and carry down to the second fairway, offering a straighter approach at the green.

With other looks, it’s good to float down to the island fairway spot in the middle for your approach. Here’s a 4-wood hole-out from there.

Finally, if you’d rather limit risk off the tee, you can lay up at the end of the left fairway and usually have enough distance and loft to be able to carry over the trees at the green.

Grand Teton — Hole #8: Par 4

This one’s mainly about distance control, as the wind won’t be awful yet but you’re forced to navigate it while floating downhill into this island green. Anywhere on the green could be considered a good shot here and give a great chance at eagle.

Grand Teton — Hole #9: Par 3

Here’s a 7-wood ace.

Grand Teton — Hole #10: Par 4

Don’t overthink this one too much – it’s typically just a punch shot to the end of the fairway straight ahead to set up your approach over the water.

However, if you’re feeling adventurous, you can hook a drive around to the right and bring in a shorter shot from the rough. From there, this 8-iron finds the cup.

Grand Teton — Hole #11: Par 5

The end of the left fairway usually offers a pretty straight approach, but sometimes distance can be an issue…you might have to carry a driver over the water into the green. After a drive in the fairway, this 10.5 driver had enough loft to clear the trees for a straight approach at the green and found the cup.

Playing out to the right fairway may be good from other tee boxes where you can blast far enough not to have to curve a shot into the green, as you’ll be quite a bit closer to the pin than from the left fairway too.

Hugging the left side of the fairway is often the best play here and many times leaves you with a straight approach into the green.

Grand Teton — Hole #15: Par 4

This is a nasty par 4 for all the reasons — wind, elevation, rock and water around a sloping green. Sometimes it’s challenging just to stick the green. Usually you’re trying to come in around the left of the trees.

However, shooting the gap to tie right can be an option too. Here’s a great 3-wood through the gap on the right side for the ace.

Some boxes allow for a drive out to the far-right fairway, which is a good option if you can get out far enough for a fairly straight approach into the green. After a drive out to the far right fairway, this 5-wood curls around for the hole-out.

Most other setups call for playing to the end of the center fairway, which might require working the ball right-to-left to get out for a clear approach. After curling around to the end of the center fairway, this 5-hybrid-wood drops in the cup.

Finally, there’s a fairway patch out left that presents a nice approach option but is difficult to reach…it requires something like a 3-wood worked through a small gap in the trees off the tee box.
