Handicap: 1st hardest hole Category: Difficult Average Score: -0.04 / -1.00 Eagle+ Birdie 52% Par 11% Bogey 24% Double+ 13% This cool looking hole can provide a challenge with a stiff wind if you’re in between clubs. Even after sticking the green, you’ll still have a tough birdie putt! Lots of blow up potential on […]

Handicap: 2nd hardest hole Category: Difficult Average Score: -0.49 / -2.00  Eagle+ 25% Birdie 31% Par 24% Bogey 13% Double+ Even though you’re downhill, you still need loft to carry the wall blocking the green, so hit as much loft as you can! It’s actually better to be short, because from the sand on top […]

Handicap: 16th hardest hole Category: Easy Average Score: -1.76 / -2.00 Eagle+ 76% Birdie 24% Par Bogey Double+ This hole is quite a ways downhill, so you might want to club down one. Short in the snow is not good, but you don’t want to be chipping from behind the green either! The right side […]

Handicap: 17th hardest hole Category: Easy Average Score: -0.88 / -1.00  Eagle+ 1% Birdie 88% Par 9% Bogey 2% Double+ Be careful trying to run your approach along the left side — it’s not flat, and you’ll get a pretty big deflection off to the right! It’s best to carry the green and use backspin […]

Handicap: 8th hardest hole Category: Risk/Reward Average Score: -0.91 / -2.00 Eagle+ 30% Birdie 46% Par 12% Bogey 8% Double+ 4% Here you’ll most likely have to tee high a driver and hit it hard so it has enough loft to reach the green on the fly. If you’re short, you can get plugged in […]

Handicap: 14th hardest hole Category: Easy Average Score: -1.61 / -2.00 Eagle+ 68% Birdie 26% Par 5% Bogey 1% Double+ Hitting to the fairway should always be fine — just cut the corner over the top with a high-teed driver. Here’s a perfect drive — this is usually all you need to do. And then […]

Handicap: 13th hardest hole Category: Easy Average Score: -0.76 / -1.00 Eagle+ Birdie 81% Par 14% Bogey 5% Double+ Just blast a long drive out right far enough to give you a look at the green. Don’t get too cute with a C3 drive, because the snow is NOT the place to be for your […]

Handicap: 5th hardest hole Category: Professional Average Score: -0.55 / -2.00 Eagle+ 12% Birdie 52% Par 25% Bogey 7% Double+ 4% On this hole, take a look straight at the green. If you’re at 330 yards or less and don’t have a head wind, you can get there with a high-tee 5-wood or 3-wood. Take […]

Handicap: 2nd hardest hole Category: Difficult Average Score: -0.19 / -1.00  Eagle+ 2% Birdie 54% Par 13% Bogey 26% Double+ 5% This par 3 causes the most bogeys on the course. You’ve got water on the left and mountain on the right that can deflect your shot right into that water. You’ll likely have to […]

Handicap: 15th hardest hole Category: Easy Average Score: -0.83 / -1.00 Eagle+ 2% Birdie 80% Par 17% Bogey 1% Double+ You don’t necessarily have to carry the second fairway to get there in two, but you’ll be able to without much hassle most of the time. Tee it high and get there if you can […]

Handicap: 9th hardest hole Category: Risk/Reward Average Score: -1.00 / -2.00 Eagle+ 37% Birdie 32% Par 27% Bogey 1% Double+ 2% Over the top is probably the more accurate option, but you still have to nail the distance to avoid danger. You can use a high-teed 4-wood or a high-teed 5-wood. Another option is cutting […]

Handicap: 12th hardest hole Category: Moderate Average Score: -1.44 / -2.00 Eagle+ 47% Birdie 50% Par 2% Bogey 1% Double+ The wind will determine which way to go here, because you can potentially reach the green from the right or from the left. There’s also a couple of shortcut patches of grass in the middle […]

Handicap: 10th hardest hole Category: Moderate Average Score: -0.52 / -1.00 Eagle+ 1% Birdie 57% Par 35% Bogey 7% Double+ Here’s another difficult par 3 where the green slopes into the abyss below.

Handicap: 3rd hardest hole Category: Difficult Average Score: -0.21 / -1.00 Eagle+ 1% Birdie 35% Par 52% Bogey 7% Double+ 5% This is the toughest par 4 on the course — your fate on this hole relies on your tee shot, which makes you curve around the corner to a narrow fairway. Even with a […]

Handicap: 6th hardest hole Category: Risk/Reward Average Score: -0.88 / -2.00 Eagle+ 21% Birdie 50% Par 26% Bogey 3% Double+ Here’s another par 5 that can be very difficult to reach in two. If you have a tough head wind, you will have to lay up short of the snow and fairway neck. From here […]


Alpine Run — Hole #17: Par 3

Handicap: 1st hardest hole Category: Difficult Average Score: -0.15 / -1.00  Eagle+ Birdie 43% Par 35% Bogey 17% Double+ 5% Here is one of the toughest birdies in GT2011, especially if you don’t have a 7/9 wood.

Stock Balls (Formerly D2 Straight)

By • Updated: Aug 10th, 2010 • Category: Golden Tee golf balls

By default in Golden Tee, all players hit what is called the “stock” ball. It is free, and you never run out of them.  The standard ball used in Golden Tee LIVE provides good distance and spin control. These balls are perfect for beginners! However, you can also buy a 12-pack of any of the […]


Tracker Balls (Formerly 2010 Gamer v2)

By • Updated: Oct 30th, 2012 • Category: Golden Tee golf balls

DISTANCE — Players seem to have more “feel” with these balls, allowing them more distance control on thumb shots (especially when taking off distance).  Compared with the Orbits, the Trackers travel up to 30 yards farther on full-full shots (A1 or C3) and 10-20 yards farther on hammer shots (B2).  Thumb shots are almost identical, […]


Ranger Balls (Formerly 2010 D2 Divas)

By • Updated: Oct 30th, 2012 • Category: Golden Tee golf balls

The low compression core creates better distance with slower swing speeds. This means you get more distance out of a “slower” shot, and the ball just settles on the green instead of having a moderate amount of spin. So, this could be good for people who can’t pound long shots, but they don’t seem to […]


Air-O Balls (Formerly 2010 D2 Distance)

By • Updated: Oct 30th, 2012 • Category: Golden Tee golf balls

A firmer cover provides increased distance on straight shots off the tee. These balls can be exciting, because the extra distance off the tee with a B2 shot can be huge! BUT, it also becomes difficult to gauge accurate distance off the tee, because of the boost. Practice some big B2 shots off the tee […]


Player Balls (Formerly 2009 Gamers)

By • Updated: Oct 30th, 2012 • Category: Golden Tee golf balls

The Player features a resilient rubber core for better distance. The soft ionomer cover creates all the spin and control needed for curve shots. These balls are great for amateurs still getting a feel for the game as they provide a great combination of distance and spin that’s easy to control. *Available for purchase on […]


Maniax Balls (Formerly 2009 Freaks)

By • Updated: Oct 30th, 2012 • Category: Golden Tee golf balls

With maxed-out aerodynamics and a faster core, the Maniax generate great distance with a touch lower spin for curve shots. These balls are also a very solid option for your all-around game. *Available for purchase on GT LIVE 2009-2013.


Streak Balls (Formerly 2008 XL Extreme Distance (Yellow))

By • Updated: Oct 30th, 2012 • Category: Golden Tee golf balls

This ball gives you maximum distance and is best for low-lofted shots that can cut through the wind. The ball curves well to get maximum distance off your A1 and C3 shots.  However, you don’t get much backspin/roll at all with this ball, so it makes it difficult to get approach shots closer to the […]


Orbit Balls (Formerly D2 Feel)

By • Updated: Oct 30th, 2012 • Category: Golden Tee golf balls

This ball is best for high, lofted shots and gives you maximum backspin/roll. Sometimes I think this ball gives me too much roll, and I’d rather have the extra distance while keeping the normal roll of other balls. *Available to purchase on GT LIVE 2010-2013.


Hurtle Balls (Formerly 2007 XL Extreme Tour (Black and white box))

By • Updated: Oct 30th, 2012 • Category: Golden Tee golf balls

Another very long ball described to “travel the farthest, but backspin and roll are less effective”.  Very comparable to the Streak balls — slightly less distance, but slightly more curve.  This is currently the most popular ball in the game amongst the pros and is also recommended for all amateurs. *Available to purchase on GT […]


Pummel Balls (Formerly 2007 Quartz (Yellow ball with green box))

By • Updated: Oct 30th, 2012 • Category: Golden Tee golf balls

This ball goes just slightly farther than the stock ball but has lots of spin. It’s described to have “maximum backspin and roll, with extra spin for superior curve shots”.  You can make this ball do about anything! *First available in 2007, but no longer available to purchase in GT LIVE 2013.
