Black Hills — Hole #8: Par 4

By Deprecated: Function the_author_posts_link was called with an argument that is deprecated since version 2.1.0 with no alternative available. in /var/web/site/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6085 • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Black Hills

Most of the time here, you’ll be aiming just to the right of the “praying hands” rocks, which gives you a more forgivable gap into the green.  Hit as much loft as you can, because the more loft, the bigger the gap becomes as your ball descends towards the green.  But, even with a driver, […]


Black Hills — Hole #9: Par 3

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Black Hills

This hole has 3 different tee boxes shooting into 1 of 2 different greens, so you’ll see a lot of different looks here.  One green is an island, and one is guarded by sand.  Some shots are pretty flat, but you can also see a look into a significantly elevated green. Just apply the principles […]


Black Hills — Hole #10: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Black Hills

Here you have 5 tee boxes but one common goal — leave yourself 240-250 yards into this enormously elevated green!  If you’re using the Big Bertha clubs, as you should be on this course, you have a lot more flexibility.  You won’t have to worry about hitting a longer drive because you’ll still have a […]


Black Hills — Hole #11: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Black Hills

This par 4 can really challenge your shot-shaping ability.  First, you’ve got a set of stones by the tee box blocking your way towards the green, and then you have another set of them to miss as your approach comes into the green!  The Kinz videos below are not for the faint of heart, but […]


Black Hills — Hole #12: Par 3

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Black Hills

This tough par 3 has 3 tee boxes, and all offer a difficult shot into the green since 3 sides of the green are OB down the cliff, with the other side being sand!  So, if you do miss to the “safe” side in the sand, you’ll still have to try to stop a downhill […]


Black Hills — Hole #13: Par 5

By • Updated: Feb 25th, 2017 • Category: Black Hills

The safe play is around the trees and hill, but you’ll almost certainly need 3 shots into the green this way, and what fun is that anyway? I’ve found a couple options for getting there in two, and they require some luck.  If you have a closer tee box, aim at the elevated hill across […]


Black Hills — Hole #14: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Black Hills

This hole was custom made for the Big Bertha clubs, and you’ll be losing a stroke to your opponents here if you aren’t losing them.  From the left tee box a 9-wood will clear all the stones and give you a straight shot at the green, and from the right box, a 7-wood does the […]


Black Hills — Hole #15: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 25th, 2017 • Category: Black Hills

Welcome to The Falls!  I almost wish this hole hadn’t won the “Design a Hole” contest, because although it looks really cool, it’s really tough!  I’m still finding myself in the waterfall way too often, and that water is lethal — it sucks your ball right down into the river, and you get a penalty. […]


Black Hills — Hole #16: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Black Hills

On easier courses, this hole might be a par 5, but this is Black Hills!  You can usually play a big C3 with roll to get some extra distance up the fairway, but just being in the fairway is the most important part. Pin placement can be tough here, and you must leave yourself a […]


Black Hills — Hole #17: Par 3

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Black Hills

This hole can very easily kill your round, if it’s not dead already by this point.  What makes it so hard is that you have to hit a high-lofted club into a green surrounded by rock and cliffs while fighting a heavy wind! If your ball lands on the rock, the results are almost never […]


Black Hills — Hole #18: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Black Hills

One of the coolest hole ever designed, and just about as tough!  You’ll learn pretty quickly that you can’t miss left, or you’re falling down the faces of Mt. Rushmore!  The tendency will be to aim long and right, but Golden Tee conveniently put a pond there too! Actually, with a bit of practice, this […]

Clubs and balls to use on Woodland Farm

So what’s the best set of clubs to use when playing Golden Tee 2009’s Woodland Farm?  Well, I got feedback from 25 pros on their choices, and here’s what I found! The most votes went to the new Big Bertha set available in 2009.  Players like the combination of the 310-yard driver and the loft […]


Early reviews for Golden Tee 2009’s Woodland Farm

By • Updated: Nov 13th, 2011 • Category: Woodland Farm

Here’s what the players are saying early on about Golden Tee’s new 2009 course Woodland Farm! AMJ — GT Par is -28. Jeff S — Trees and elevation changes galore!! Some tight greens too. If you hit a cow, yes…it does MOO. AMJ — Played the old birds the first round and the low loft […]


Woodland Farm — Hole #1: Par 4

By • Updated: Aug 5th, 2014 • Category: Woodland Farm

Nothing fancy on hole 1 — just get out at least to the top of the hill and try to line up the wind with the pin as best you can! EXAMPLE HOLE-OUT


Woodland Farm — Hole #2: Par 4

By • Updated: Aug 5th, 2014 • Category: Woodland Farm

There’s no point in trying to clear the lake here — just punch it down the fairway.  Be careful on your approach shot with the sandy moat in front — a low-lofted club may get stuck in there, so make sure you fly the green and stick it! EXAMPLE HOLE-OUT


Woodland Farm — Hole #3: Par 3

By • Updated: Aug 5th, 2014 • Category: Woodland Farm

Here’s a tough, long par 3 that can set up over 300 yards!  It’s slightly downhill, and you’ll probably have to fly the sand, landing on the green and sticking it by the pin.  Make sure you leave yourself a clear putt at the flag because of the oddly shaped green! EXAMPLE HOLE-OUT 1 EXAMPLE […]


Woodland Farm — Hole #4: Par 4

By • Updated: Aug 5th, 2014 • Category: Woodland Farm

Time for some fun!  This hole is great.  It’ll take some practice, but you should always be trying to punch a driver (or a very low-lofted iron) through the covered bridge onto the green!  The tee box is 60-70 yards long, but it’s always in line with the bridge.  You’ll have an offset look through […]


Woodland Farm — Hole #5: Par 5

By • Updated: Aug 5th, 2014 • Category: Woodland Farm

Here is a manageable eagle opportunity on a par 5.  You have to get long, but more importantly to the right, off the tee, and many times rotating left and hitting an A1 will be the shot for you to get far out to the right side of the fairway.  However, you can also really […]


Woodland Farm — Hole #6: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 25th, 2017 • Category: Woodland Farm

The safe play is to lay up out to the right, far enough where you have a clear shot into the green.  But what fun is that? There’s usually room to play a small C3-type shot with a 5-wood over the trees, if the 5-wood looks like it offers the right distance to get to […]


Woodland Farm — Hole #7: Par 3

By • Updated: Aug 5th, 2014 • Category: Woodland Farm

Pin placement can make this shot difficult sometimes, as can the fact that you don’t know whether the green will have slope of up 7, down 7, or left 7, because of all the different tee boxes! Use the strategies you already know to attack this green based on the slope. Be warned on downhill […]


Woodland Farm — Hole #8: Par 5

By • Updated: Feb 25th, 2017 • Category: Woodland Farm

From the right tee box on this par 5, there is a fairly big landing area along the river that offers you a shortcut into the green in two, but it is REALLY tough to stick!  It’s very hard to get around the trees and carry the landing area without getting caught up in the […]


Woodland Farm — Hole #9: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 25th, 2017 • Category: Woodland Farm

This hole offers a lot of looks from two tee boxes set up perpendicular to each other.  If you’re closer to the barn, a 5-wood does not always clear the silo rising up in the middle, so work around that if you can.  From the front right tee box, a 3-wood clears the bar just […]


Woodland Farm — Hole #10: Par 4

By • Updated: Aug 5th, 2014 • Category: Woodland Farm

Yikes.  Golden Tee sometimes likes to punish you coming out of the clubhouse for the back 9, and this hole certainly fits that bill.  If you choose to hit a long drive, you’re almost certain to have a tree blocking your approach shot into the green. Instead, I sometimes like to lay up short into […]


Woodland Farm — Hole #11: Par 3

By • Updated: Aug 5th, 2014 • Category: Woodland Farm

On this par 3, you’ll be on any one of 5 different tee boxes, hitting into a well-guarded green.  If conditions are tough, just aim for the middle of the green and deal with your putt, rather than ending up in the water or sand! EXAMPLE HOLE-OUT 1 EXAMPLE HOLE-OUT 2


Woodland Farm — Hole #12: Par 5

By • Updated: Jan 22nd, 2017 • Category: Woodland Farm

From the left tee box on this crazy par 5, you can usually play a big A1 with roll and get your ball to either carry, skip, or bounce down to the lower-level fairway to the right.  If there’s a big wind at your back, you may consider laying up at the top of the […]


Woodland Farm — Hole #13: Par 4

By • Updated: Aug 5th, 2014 • Category: Woodland Farm

This par 4 with an island green is usually driveable but very tough!  There are 4 tee boxes, and sometimes you’re on the back of one and simply can’t get there with your driver.  If this is the case, you at least have a lot of fairway to work with so you can line up […]


Woodland Farm — Hole #14: Par 4

By • Updated: Aug 5th, 2014 • Category: Woodland Farm

This hole has several looks among 3 tee boxes, but you should always check out the small gap in the trees leading towards the pin.  Most of the time, you’ll have a look with anything from a low-iron to a 5-wood to a driver that has the proper trajectory to fit right in that gap!  […]


Woodland Farm — Hole #15: Par 4

By • Updated: Aug 5th, 2014 • Category: Woodland Farm

On this hole, you’ll usually be laying up in the circle fairway, although sometimes you can clear the river to the next fairway.  If you’re laying up in the circle, be careful, because it slopes down and can leak into the water if you hit it too far! With this elevated green, loft becomes important […]


Woodland Farm — Hole #16: Par 5

By • Updated: Aug 5th, 2014 • Category: Woodland Farm

The easiest shortcut here is to a grassy hill just over the river — if you are on the left tee box, you can line up with the green and you’ll see it straight ahead.  Pull out your 3-wood (you’ll need the loft) and crank it straight ahead on top of this hill!  From here, […]
