An easy par 4 to start, as usual – just try to position your tee shot with a straight-in wind so that you have the best chance of holing out your approach shot, or at least getting Great Shot Points!  Here’s an example hole-out. It’s always easy to turn left once and pound an A1 […]

An “always” drivable par 4. If this hole looks like death, that’s because it just killed the foursome in front of you. This is THE toughest hole in all of Golden Tee Golf. From the front box closest to the trees, a 5-wood will get under the trees if you’re close. If you’re on the […]

This hole can set up VERY tough! You can have anywhere between an 80-yard shot and a 250-yard shot. The green slopes big time left towards the water, and the wind is usually wicked. If you’re really close with a sick crosswind, try Sobe’s “arcade shot”. This is when you go left of the hole […]

This is the second toughest hole ever, and the toughest par 5 ever. There are 2 ways to get eagle here. If the wind somewhere between barely going left to all the way right, hit far down the left side of the fairway (C3 may be good for added distance). Try to leave yourself with […]

This hole is usually drivable – just use your placement on the tee box and the wind to know whether it’s best to go around the right side or the left side of the trees. If you’re somewhere in the middle, it’s a nice wood shot to the green.  Here’s a pretty straight hole-out. If […]

You need to get through the narrow neck of the fairway, past the trees on the left, to have a clean look at the green in two (will probably require a 350+ drive). If you’re really far back, you might turn right and hit a C3 for added distance. If you still can’t drive past […]

Several different tee boxes here, but you’ll always be shooting at the same spot. You want to shoot out to the very left side of this crooked fairway, getting as far left and close to the trees as you can while still staying in the fairway (the rough is usually fine too though). From there, […]

You’ll be hitting to 1 of 2 fairways here, but either should be easy — just hit it far and leave a good approach shot. From the right tees, you can blast an A1 far enough out to leave a nice approach shot.  If possible, though, try to roll your ball off the top fairway […]

Two shortcut options here, and both will challenge you. From some tee boxes, you can turn left a few times and hit a 5-wood or 3-wood over the trees and onto the green landing zone in the forest (this is the one with the outhouse). This patch leaves a nice path through gaps in the […]

This green slopes to the right towards water, so make sure you’re not coming in from a left-to-right angle, or you may very well find that water (especially if you applied backspin, which can help pull it in the water too)!  With a back pin, this shot worked well.

Always drivable from any tee box. If you’re on the big left box, it’s usually a straight shot. If you’re on one of the 3 to the right, you’ll have to curve it around some trees. Backspin is usually required, but not always.  Here’s a nice ace with a small cut around the trees, and […]

A few different tee boxes here, but the same layup spot every time. Hit to the right side of the fairway and leave yourself a nice 5-wood or 3-wood into the green, which will usually require some kind of B3 shot to curve around the trees. Here’s a nice hole-out to a back pin.  And […]

If the pin is hugging the edge, it makes it tougher to attack the flag here, but you should still come away with birdie.  Here’s an example hole-out. You may want to club up and play a small right-to-left hook with backspin to tuck the ball up to a left-side pin placement.

Just hit to the left side of the fairway here and you won’t have to worry about the hill or trees on the right. Here’s an example hole-out.  Even if you run up the hill on the right, it will roll back down to the middle and you should be fine.

This long par 5 has a tee shot that is sometimes the toughest in the game. To get there in 2, you’ll need to go down the squiggly fairway and be close enough to get a wood to the green. Hitting to just in-between the first 2 bunkers will leave you about 360-400 to the […]

Here’s a tough par 3 that can ruin your round. This hole can set up anywhere from a sand wedge to a 3-wood depending on the tee box and wind, but it always has a hard left-sloping green towards the sand. If you’re close enough for a small iron or wedge, and the wind is […]

The best way to play this hole is to position your drive so that you have a low-lofted club into the green (a huge tree will catch any high-lofted approach shot). You need to get out far enough past the trees on the left, but not so far that the big approach tree is too […]

You’ll need a big A1 drive off the tee with topspin (into a headwind) or backspin (with a tailwind), also depending on the angle you get from tee. Make sure you get the ball as far left on the fairway as you can without actually going in the rough, and you’ll have the best approach […]

Once again, make sure you’re not short!  This one can be tough too.  With a front pin, aim for the back of the green and use backspin.  Here’s an example hole-out. With a back pin, make sure you aim for the back of the green again with no roll.  The wind affects tee shots here […]

Here’s another always drivable par 4. This hole can be an easy straight wood shot, an A1 or a C3, all depending on the tee box. From the left box, you can come straight at it — here’s a hole-out from there. If you’re toward the middle of the boxes, an A1 5-wood will clear […]

If you can get to the second fairway across the water, this one is easy. Stay right as much as you can, because the fairway slopes left. Here’s an example hole-out from there. Just watch out for this fringe when you’re on the green, because it really throws putts off track! If you cannot clear […]

From every tee box, you will either be turning left once to blast an A1 driver with topspin, or you will be turning right once to hit a C3 driver with topspin. Hit this one hard. If you get past the sand, you’re gold. Even if you’re in the sand but you get out far […]

This green is sometimes drivable with a lucky turbo-bouncing C3, but watch out! This green is 250-feet across, so if you’re on the wrong end of the green, you could be 3-putting from 200+ feet! It’s better just to shoot a straight driver 300+ in the fairway to get a clear look at attacking the […]

Just make sure you’re not short!  Be careful with a front pin and a low-lofted club.  If you thumb it, you have a good chance of ending up short in the water.  Club up or pull back to get extra loft hitting uphill to this green.  Here’s an example hole-out.

Always drivable, but difficulty depends on your setup. For most setups, it’s an easy thumb shot with a 5-wood to driver.  Here’s a nice 3-wood hole-out.  Here’s another 3-wood hole-out from different box. The only time this hole is tough is when you’re on the tee box behind the trees. If you are close and […]

Sometimes pin placement can make it tough to attack the flag, so make sure you get your birdie here. You just have to read the pin and the wind to know which type of shot is best. The wind affects the ball more here because it’s a downhill shot.  The green has a strange shape […]

Drivable about 20% of the time. If you’re on the front big box, you can drive this hole with a straight shot. From anywhere else on the front box, hit an A1 or C3 to get there. From the back boxes, just lay up and try to create a straight-wind approach shot again.  Here’s a […]

Sometimes this opening par 4 can be drivable, but mostly you’ll be trying to lay up for a straight shot in with the wind.  Here’s an example hole-out after laying back.

This par 4 is always drivable, although sometimes it’s 370 into a big wind. With water all around this tiny green you only want to go for this hole if it’s easy or if you have to have eagle to beat your opponent. An 8-iron to driver, always with backspin, is the club here.  Here’s […]

If you’re on the left box, you can turn left a ways for a tee box landing zone, or aim down the fairway and hit a C3 down the fairway and around the water. You’ll have an easy iron in from here. The middle set of boxes makes this hole tough. The fairway is similar […]
