Here is a description of this new course for Golden Tee 2013: “Situated directly under the sweltering sun, Jackrabbit Junction is an 18-hole trek well off the beaten path. Unlike most desert courses, this Gila Bend, Arizona creation is not jam-packed with sand, but instead spreads across the dry, sun-drenched earth that stopped growing grass […]

Lots of tee boxes here, from the side to the back, will give you many challenging looks.  Here’s a 9-iron from the side that caught a nice bounce into the hole.  This one was well-played to a left-center pin. This one was well-played from behind the hole, and so was this one.  And this shot found […]

These Sequoias, which can get upwards of 20 feet in diameter at their base, seemingly blend in with the clouds. These gigantic obstacles are scattered throughout […]

Here is a description of this new course for Golden Tee 2013: “Tucked away in Nag’s Head, North Carolina, Cape Haven is home to the largest sand dunes on the east coast and one of the most unique golfing experiences in the entire country.

Here’s a nice 5-wood ace around the left side from the back-right box.  Here’s another one over the top of the right side.  And check out the unbelievable deflection this one gets off the rock face! This 5-wood dunked in the hole from the next box to the left. Here’s a 3-wood one-hopper from the […]

Most of the time it’s just fine hitting straight out to the fairway — you may need just a small cut into the green.  Here’s a great 3-wood curved around and in. The only time it may be rough is if the wind is blowing away from the green towards the water.  In this case, […]

If you’ve got a big wind blowing towards the green, you can high tee this one and try to drive it!  This shot came pretty close to the green and gave a nice eagle chip. Otherwise you’ll want to get out to the left edge of the fairway (while staying dry, of course).  This drive […]

Here’s a nice one-hop hole-out from the end of the first fairway. Here’s a hole-out from the second fairway after a long drive. VIDEO DEMO

Here is an example ace from the middle-right box. Here’s a short little dunk from the front box. VIDEO DEMO

If you play out left, you need to lay back a ways from the sand mound, otherwise you may not have enough loft to clear it towards the green.  At the same time, you can’t be so far back that a driver won’t even get there in two.  This driver had just enough to clear […]

Nothing wrong with laying up straight ahead, just leave yourself a bit of clearance from the sand mound on the approach.  Here’s an example hole-out. If you get a good setup and really crave a big drive (or if you get the much closer tee box), you can reach the second part of the fairway […]

Club down and hit it hard!  You need as much loft as possible into this elevated green guarded by a hill and pot bunkers.  Short is bad, and long is wet, so you need to nail the distance.  If in doubt, aim for the grassy hill in between the bunkers and hope to hop over […]

As long as you get towards the farther half of the middle fairway, you should have an open approach.  Here’s a 5-wood dunk from there! It is certainly possible at times to drive the far fairway, and you can go for it if you’re comfortable — here’s a hole-out from there. VIDEO DEMO
