It’s all about distance control here — you’ll be shooting straight at this green with backspin or bite.  Here’s a great 4-wood dunk to a front pin, and here’s a perfect 3-wood hole-out to a back pin. VIDEO DEMO


Tundra Peak — Hole #10: Par 4

By • Updated: Nov 6th, 2011 • Category: Tundra Peak

It doesn’t matter much which way you choose here, so let the wind decide for you — pick whatever side gives you the easiest approach shot with or against the wind.  A high tee may help your distance to be safe.  Here’s a hole-out from the left fairway, and here’s a hole-out from the right […]


Tundra Peak — Hole #11: Par 4

By • Updated: Aug 5th, 2014 • Category: Tundra Peak

With a great tee box and strong tailwind, you may be able to high-tee this one to the green! Otherwise, just lay up a ways short of the icy divide to give yourself a 7-wood or 9-wood loft shot up the hill on your approach.  Here’s an example hole-out. VIDEO DEMO


Tundra Peak — Hole #12: Par 3

By • Updated: Jan 2nd, 2018 • Category: Tundra Peak

Use your loft and carry over the ice to the green.  With a back-right pin, the icy mound can serve as a nice backstop!  You can also use the ice to help bounce forward if you end up short, although this one got lucky! Don’t have a high-lofted club?  Just run it into the mountain […]


Tundra Peak — Hole #13: Par 4

By • Updated: Jan 2nd, 2018 • Category: Tundra Peak

The safest play, and only play in my opinion, is to take your shot straight over the mountains ahead to get to the second part of the fairway — use a high tee if it will help you carry far enough. You can still lay back left for a longer approach shot — here’s a […]


Tundra Peak — Hole #14: Par 5

By • Updated: Aug 5th, 2014 • Category: Tundra Peak

Take a high-teed 3-wood straight over the snow mound on the left, aiming to land in the sliver of fairway heading down.  If you’re on point, you’ll roll on down to safety for your approach.  Here’s a hole-out after a mammoth drive. If you do head right or try a cut shot that catches the […]


Tundra Peak — Hole #15: Par 4

By • Updated: Apr 16th, 2017 • Category: Tundra Peak

It appears as if you’ll have to try to thread the gap between the two mountains if you want a shot at this green (3/4-wood with backspin is ideal) — and this is the best case with a left pin. But, in most cases, you can go over it — the problem may lie in getting the […]


Tundra Peak — Hole #16: Par 5

By • Updated: Apr 3rd, 2017 • Category: Tundra Peak

The island straight ahead is the common shortcut shot for an eagle chance but can be very tough to stick at times because it’s not completely flat, and backspin isn’t as effective in the frozen tundra.  It’s elevated too, so consider a high tee and/or hit it a bit more firmly. Here’s a solid tip […]


Tundra Peak — Hole #17: Par 3

By • Updated: Aug 5th, 2014 • Category: Tundra Peak

Here’s a great hole-out to a tough back-left pin.  And this deflection is amazingly lucky! Also, there’s a little ice gully to the right that can be fun to rattle around in — check out this amazing shot!  Here’s another shot that got some crazy bounces before finding the cup.  Here’s yet another wild one! […]


Tundra Peak — Hole #18: Par 4

By • Updated: Apr 3rd, 2017 • Category: Tundra Peak

The most common, and usually safest, shot is a high-teed 5-wood.  Since it slopes way back towards you and the green is frozen, it should settle, although you’ll almost always have a fun downhill putt to finish out!  This one was just played very nicely.  Medium-teed 5-woods also work sometimes.  Here’s a nice one that […]


Royal Cove — Hole #1: Par 4

By • Updated: Nov 6th, 2011 • Category: Royal Cove

A sign of what’s to come, here’s one of the toughest opening holes in Golden Tee history.  Right off the bat, the first hole gets you thinking! Laying back to the left is a good option once you figure out the distance.  You don’t want to be curving a shot into the first green, so […]


Royal Cove — Hole #2: Par 4

By • Updated: Sep 6th, 2012 • Category: Royal Cove

First, take a look at your tee box and the wind.  A high-teed driver cut around the corner in the right conditions can reach the green!  A high-teed 3-wood can even cut over the far right trees but would require an exceptional look — still, the high-teed 3W gives your best chance of cutting around […]


Royal Cove — Hole #3: Par 3

By • Updated: Nov 6th, 2011 • Category: Royal Cove

Not much to this one — just don’t go long chasing a back pin.  Here’s an example hole-out. VIDEO DEMO


Royal Cove — Hole #4: Par 5

By • Updated: Apr 3rd, 2017 • Category: Royal Cove

This can be a really tough eagle.  First, you might want to take a run at the green or at least get it close!  Rotate right and play a big high-teed C3 driver around the side.  Just hope you don’t get unlucky like this! If you don’t want to give that a try, rotate right […]


Royal Cove — Hole #5: Par 4

By • Updated: Aug 18th, 2012 • Category: Royal Cove

You’ll be cutting your tee shot around the right side to give yourself an eagle putt here.  Here’s a dunk with a 5-wood with a pretty straight look, and here’s a 3-wood with a small cut around the corner.  It’s usually not too bad unless the wind is blowing right.  If you miss anywhere, miss […]


Royal Cove — Hole #6: Par 4

By • Updated: Nov 6th, 2011 • Category: Royal Cove

A high tee can potentially save you a stroke here — you’ll want to blast a drive to the second fairway and stay as far right as you can without getting in those trees.  This gives you the best angle on your approach.  There’s just a narrow gap between the trees on this approach, and […]


Royal Cove — Hole #7: Par 3

By • Updated: Nov 6th, 2011 • Category: Royal Cove

This is a big, fairly flat green, so don’t necessarily chase the pin here — favor the middle of the green to be safe!  Here’s a 9-wood hole-out. VIDEO DEMO


Royal Cove — Hole #8: Par 5

By • Updated: Dec 9th, 2011 • Category: Royal Cove

This hole is actually drivable in certain setups with a high-teed A1 driver, but almost never worth the risk.  There’s a very small margin of error in terms of the curve path and the distance, and it requires you to land in the sand strip short of the green to kill the ball and stop […]


Royal Cove — Hole #9: Par 4

By • Updated: Dec 9th, 2011 • Category: Royal Cove

Here you’ll need to curve a long wood, often high-teed, around the mountain and stick a fairly small area that includes the green.  Remember that if you choose a straight line and play a small cut around the mountain, it’s easier to control, but you’ll also lose distance vs. a bigger cut shot that will […]


Royal Cove — Hole #10: Par 4

By • Updated: Aug 24th, 2012 • Category: Royal Cove

This hole will likely require a couple of small cut shots to hit the green.  Don’t get too crazy off the tee — again, distance doesn’t much matter, just get it somewhere right of the sand, preferably short so you don’t bring it into play.  Here’s a nice hole-out from behind the sand.  There’s a […]


Royal Cove — Hole #11: Par 4

By • Updated: Apr 3rd, 2017 • Category: Royal Cove

Don’t pay TOO much attention to the demo here, because the hill is now higher than the demo and you have a slim chance of being able to climb up and over the hill towards the green.  HOWEVER, study this shot.  It’s a medium-teed 3-wood with roll from the right-center of the box.  There’s a […]


Royal Cove — Hole #12: Par 3

By • Updated: Nov 6th, 2011 • Category: Royal Cove

This is a tough par 3 that will test your skills, especially if you have to hit a 7-wood or 9-wood.  Missing left or right means trees and water.  Missing short is water.  Long in the sand is your only bail out spot. Using a tee is often helpful here to give yourself the best […]


Royal Cove — Hole #13: Par 4

By • Updated: Nov 6th, 2011 • Category: Royal Cove

Don’t put too much stock in the demo here either, because the trees are higher and you won’t really be able to cut the corner anymore.  This becomes a par 4 where you need a simple but accurate tee shot straight down the fairway to set up a longer, difficult approach shot.  Here’s a hole-out […]


Royal Cove — Hole #14: Par 5

By • Updated: Apr 3rd, 2017 • Category: Royal Cove

Three options here!  First, to the right, there’s a narrow green patch along the wall through the trees.  If you can stick it here, this gives you probably your best approach shot for eagle — here’s a hole-out from there.  It can be very tough, especially with a left-blowing wind or if you get an […]


Royal Cove — Hole #15: Par 4

By • Updated: Mar 11th, 2012 • Category: Royal Cove

Most times you can curve a wood around the left side and plop it down on the green, sometimes using the back wall for a light deflection.  A high tee can help too.  Here’s a great 3-wood from the back center box.  And check out this 5-wood played off the top of the wall, around […]


Royal Cove — Hole #16: Par 3

By • Updated: Apr 28th, 2012 • Category: Royal Cove

This is one of the toughest par 3s in the past several years, especially with a pin on the right.  Short = water.  Long = bank off the back = water.  There’s only a sliver of green to work with.  Here’s a dunk to a right pin, and here’s another great hole-out.  Pray for a […]


Royal Cove — Hole #17: Par 5

By • Updated: Apr 3rd, 2017 • Category: Royal Cove

Oh, what a hole!  A chance to drive the green, but the penalty of being teed right back on the box if you miss.  The ideal setup for this seems to be a spot on the middle or right of the tee box, with a tailwind or even blowing left.  One option is a high-teed […]


Royal Cove — Hole #18: Par 4

By • Updated: Apr 3rd, 2017 • Category: Royal Cove

This shot is usually doable by curving around the left side and using backspin to hold the green.  Here is a perfect 5-wood backspin around the corner.  This sick low-teed 5-wood cut all the way around to a back right pin.  Here’s a 2-hybrid that played a huge A2-type cut. Sometimes you may not be […]


Auburn Glen — Hole #1: Par 4

By • Updated: Nov 6th, 2011 • Category: Auburn Glen

With a really good look from the front-right box, you can get pretty close to this green for a short chip shot (some have even driven it) with a huge high-teed A1 driver with roll.  Don’t get too carried away on the first hole, though! Here’s an example hole-out after laying back off the tee. […]


Auburn Glen — Hole #2: Par 4

By • Updated: Jan 21st, 2012 • Category: Auburn Glen

A high-teed driver straight at it can get there most of the time — here’s a long ace!  This one also went right over the yellow tree on the left and trickled all the way down and in, but you may also clip a leaf here if you mishit it, so stay right of this […]
