Clubs and Balls to use on Bayou Bay

By • Updated: Nov 13th, 2011 • Category: Bayou Bay

Bayou Bay is the toughest course in 2008 Golden Tee Live, and after polling several of the experts, I’ve found there are several different ways people choose to set up to attack this vicious course. The most popular choice is to play with the old hybrids (“old birds”) and the orange balls. In addition, multiple […]


Bayou Bay — Hole #1: Par 4

By • Updated: Jan 22nd, 2012 • Category: Bayou Bay

A long, mostly unreachable par 4 to start off. Set up your drive for an easy, accurate approach into this large green.  Here’s an example hole-out.


Bayou Bay — Hole #2: Par 4

By • Updated: Jan 22nd, 2012 • Category: Bayou Bay

Another long par 4 where you usually need to avoid the trees on the right and lay up at the end of the fairway. It’s sometimes drivable with a big A1 off the front tees when the wind is blowing to the right. Don’t leave your approach shot short in the sand!  Here’s an example […]


Bayou Bay — Hole #3: Par 3

By • Updated: Jan 22nd, 2012 • Category: Bayou Bay

If you’re among the tee boxes on the right, watch out for the trees – you may need to hit a B1 shot to avoid them. Don’t let your shot leak too far right towards the water! There is a hill behind the green that will stop an aggressive shot at a back pin.  Here’s […]


Bayou Bay — Hole #4: Par 5

By • Updated: Feb 25th, 2017 • Category: Bayou Bay

There are so many looks here it’s hard to list them all, but below are several examples of how you can attack this hole for eagle. From the far left front box, click left a ways and you can see a green landing area with a house to the left of it. An easy B1 […]


Bayou Bay — Hole #5: Par 4

By • Updated: Aug 23rd, 2019 • Category: Bayou Bay

Reachable in one, but the difficulty depends on your setup with the wind. If the wind is blowing right, it helps a ton – hit a slight B.5 – 1.5 out to the left to dodge the trees on the right. Anything else, and you’ll usually be hitting more of a A-B to 1-2 shot […]


Bayou Bay — Hole #6: Par 4

By • Updated: Jan 22nd, 2012 • Category: Bayou Bay

There are two greens on this hole! There’s only one situation where this hole is drivable – if the green is the left green, if you’re on the front of the left 3 tee boxes, and if you hit a big C3 — here’s an awesome skip-ace from the front box!. Otherwise, in most cases, […]


Bayou Bay — Hole #7: Par 3

By • Updated: Jan 22nd, 2012 • Category: Bayou Bay

Stay out of the water on this long par 3 of around 300 yards. It’s usually a driver with backspin, and you want to land on the right side of the green since there’s strong break left towards the water.  Here’s an example ace.


Bayou Bay — Hole #8: Par 5

By • Updated: Feb 25th, 2017 • Category: Bayou Bay

Another Par 5 with tons of options, but it’s simplified into two main approaches. First of all, from all the tee boxes, you should locate the tee box up to the front and right. It’s about 300 yards into the green from there, and there’s a tree right in the middle of your approach from […]


Bayou Bay — Hole #9: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 25th, 2017 • Category: Bayou Bay

A very tough hole to stick the green off your drive, and sometimes it’s best just to lay up. From the left set of boxes, a C3 or B3 around the trees will get you there with a 5-wood to driver. From the right boxes, an A1 or B1 5-wood to driver will get there […]


Bayou Bay — Hole #10: Par 4

By • Updated: Jan 22nd, 2012 • Category: Bayou Bay

There are two fairways to choose from, but 1 green. If you can make it to the left fairway (usually a C3 shot), you’ll have an easy approach shot. If you’re on the far left box, you can look left a ways and hit a driver through the gap in the trees to the fairway. […]


Bayou Bay — Hole #11: Par 3

By • Updated: Feb 25th, 2017 • Category: Bayou Bay

This hole can be tricky, and the wind really dictates what club to use. The green likes to leak to the right.


Bayou Bay — Hole #12: Par 4

By • Updated: Jan 22nd, 2012 • Category: Bayou Bay

Just play a straight drive down the middle. There’s usually no need to flirt with the narrow neck of the fairway, so just lay back in the fat part. Here’s an example hole-out.  If you have a right tee box, you’ll need a C3 backspin 3-wood or driver.


Bayou Bay — Hole #13: Par 5

By • Updated: Jan 22nd, 2012 • Category: Bayou Bay

This par 5 has several options. From the middle tees, you can hit a B1 3-wood with backspin to the biggest and closest landing area to the right, leaving a C3-type driver with backspin into the green. Or, if you can get to the end of the island closest to the green, you’ll have a […]


Bayou Bay — Hole #14: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 25th, 2017 • Category: Bayou Bay

This par 4 can set up easy or very difficult. If you’re hitting across the lake to the upslope, its a 5-wood to driver, angled in from either side. Coming at it from the left, here’s an example hole-out. If it’s from the opposite side, you have a small river and a downward green which […]


Bayou Bay — Hole #15: Par 5

By • Updated: Jan 28th, 2012 • Category: Bayou Bay

This long par 5 can be very hard to reach in 2. From the middle tees and 670 or so out, just blast a couple straight drivers to get there in 2 — here’s a straight driver in for double-eagle. Otherwise, hit it as far down the fairway as you can with an A1 or […]


Bayou Bay — Hole #16: Par 5

By • Updated: Jan 28th, 2012 • Category: Bayou Bay

If you’re on the left box, you can turn left a ways for a tee box landing zone, or aim down the fairway and hit a C3 down the fairway and around the water. You’ll have an easy iron in from here. The middle set of boxes makes this hole tough. The fairway is similar […]


Bayou Bay — Hole #17: Par 3

By • Updated: Aug 18th, 2017 • Category: Bayou Bay

The tee shot on this par 3 can be anywhere from a putter to a driver! If you get a really close tee box, you can hit a putter down the hill to the green. Be careful with a downhill putt here, because this green likes the rollovers. With a funky wind from this close […]


Bayou Bay — Hole #18: Par 4

By • Updated: Jan 28th, 2012 • Category: Bayou Bay

This par 4 is always drivable, although sometimes it’s 370 into a big wind. With water all around this tiny green you only want to go for this hole if it’s easy or if you have to have eagle to beat your opponent. An 8-iron to driver, always with backspin, is the club here.  Here’s […]
