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
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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
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

In rare cases, this green can be driven with a huge C3 drive from the front-right of the box…check out this incredible ace! Otherwise, just pick a fat part in the fairway and tee off with backspin to hold this spot. Don’t go too far or the tall grass will inhibit your approach. The key […]

This ball is still tied for the longest ball Golden Tee has ever made. It’s described to have “ultimate distance, with more distance on straighter shots, and less spin control for curve shots”. As you can tell from the graph, distance is about all you’ll get, making sacrifices on backspin/roll and curved shots. *Only available […]
A good all-around ball that gives you exceptional curve and superior backspin/roll. It also doesn’t hurt you in other areas, except perhaps straight distance shots. * Last available for purchase in GT LIVE 2011.
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.
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 […]
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.
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 […]
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.
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
This ball adds distance but maintains normal amount of spin for your hooking shots and backspin/roll. It’s a great “control” ball that gives you a little extra distance to boot. *Available for purchase in GT LIVE 2008-2013.
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, […]
Several options here to leave you an approach shot to the green in 2. If you’re close enough to hit it down past the sand on the left and onto the lower fairway, hit it there and close to the water, as far left as possible. You’ll have a 3-wood with backspin to the green. […]
