Golden Tee provides 45 different (based on loft and distance) woods, irons, and hybrids for you to play with (in addition to a variety of putters). Of course, you only get to put 13 of these in your bag along with your putter, so the clubs you use are determined by the club set you […]

Equalizer Set (Formerly 2010 Callaway FtiQ Set (Balanced Distance/Softer Touch))

By • Updated: Aug 9th, 2010 • Category: Golden Tee golf clubs

The perfect balance of distance and feel. This set combines additional power from long range, with the softer touch of the FT Irons.  The irons in this set are a bit different — they go 5 yards less than the irons in other sets! Driver (9.5°): 310 3 Wood: 280 5 Wood: 255 2 Iron: […]

GoldenTeeFan takes on Cedar Rapids

By • Updated: Sep 14th, 2009 • Category: Features, Improvement

Well I had another fantastic time at a Golden Tee tournament — this time driving out to Cedar Rapids, IA for the action.  I got to the Double Inn by 4:00 on Friday.  The setup was fantastic — there were 15 pedestals set up all around the perimeter of the seating area.  With only 39 […]

What’s new in Golden Tee 2009?

As you would expect, Golden Tee has added a ton of new features to Golden Tee 2009…not just new courses! It may be more difficult for players to find shortcuts in Golden Tee 2009 — and, you’ll notice that a lot of the greens are shaped to make it much more challenging to put it […]

Southern Oaks — Hole #1: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 25th, 2017 • Category: Southern Oaks

Some guys are driving this hole with a tailwind using a low-loft driver and the red D2 distance balls!


Southern Oaks — Hole #2: Par 5

By • Updated: Feb 25th, 2017 • Category: Southern Oaks

As long and as far left in the fairway as you can be — that should always be your mentality off the tee.  This usually leaves something like a 3-wood cut into the green. There’s also a mini-shortcut through the trees after a pretty standard long drive.  After pounding your drive out there as best […]


Southern Oaks — Hole #3: Par 3

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Southern Oaks

HOLE-OUT FROM THE BACK BOX HOLE-OUT FROM THE SECOND-CLOSEST BOX HOLE-OUT FROM THE SECOND-FURTHEST BOX


Southern Oaks — Hole #4: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Southern Oaks

From the far right box, you’ll have to hook it around the trees with backspin, possibly needing a water skip for the correct distance to hold the green.  A 5-wood A2-type shot with backspin can work too if you’re good at cutting back distance.  Or, you can use the hill as a backstop, as was […]


Southern Oaks — Hole #5: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Southern Oaks

Just lay up long next to the water to bring in your approach shot — make sure you’re far enough out there to have a straight shot in, and the farther left you are, the less club you’ll need.  Make sure you carry the green on the fly, because there are some weird bounces if […]


Southern Oaks — Hole #6: Par 3

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Southern Oaks

This is a really tough par 3 that requires a very precise tee shot to have a birdie putt.  You’ll often be working the ball right-to-left to hold the green.  From the front box, hit 3-wood or a 5-wood, like this. From the middle box, hit 3-wood or driver.  Here’s a hole-out with the driver. […]


Southern Oaks — Hole #7: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Southern Oaks

Here you’ll almost always be hitting a straight-180 shot, usually with backspin (unless there’s a strong headwind), aimed at the rough between the green and the hill to the right of it.  Use as much loft as you can while still giving you the distance you need.  A 5-wood has the perfect loft, a 4-wood […]


Southern Oaks — Hole #8: Par 5

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Southern Oaks

From the back box, lay up in the fairway as long and left as you can.  From here, you can bring an A1-type approach shot into the green, usually with no backspin, as shown here.  It’s better to be left than long, because even if you don’t tee off long, you could still have a […]


Southern Oaks — Hole #9: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Southern Oaks

Don’t just blindly blast a drive as far as you can here — the better play is to hit something like a 5-wood off the tee, close to the water.  This gives you another lofted 5-wood to work with on the approach, where you can float it over the trees instead of having to curve […]


Southern Oaks — Hole #10: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Southern Oaks

There’s no big advantage here to carry the water around the corner off the tee, so just lay back for an approach shot that’s not much more difficult.  Here’s a holeout from the middle fairway, well behind the winding river.  The green is pretty long, so if the pin is in the back, lay off […]


Southern Oaks — Hole #11: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Southern Oaks

The best play off the tee is to aim out left, giving you a clean look into the green with a 5-wood or 3-wood.  Here’s a 3-wood knocked down perfectly by the tree guarding the green, and here’s another one that lands cleanly and finds the hole.  If you do stay to the right, a […]


Southern Oaks — Hole #12: Par 3

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Southern Oaks

This shot can be a little intimidating with some cross wind, but don’t panic.  In the case of a cross-wind, play a very small cut shot into the wind to keep your ball straight through the gap.  If you don’t play cut shots very often, be careful to only pull very slightly to the left […]
