Grand Savannah — Hole #10: 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: Grand Savannah

You’ll need to find the best way to get as far down the fairway as possible, because you don’t want the trees blocking your approach shot.  Your approach is uphill and upslope, so make sure you club up and/or use roll! If you can’t clear the water very easily and/or can’t get past the tree […]


Grand Savannah — Hole #11: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Grand Savannah

Don’t get too cute with your drive — just make sure you keep it in the fairway.  You’ve got an uphill, upslope approach shot again, but sometimes the pin placement can be tough here.  If in doubt, find the middle of the green! EXAMPLE HOLE-OUT


Grand Savannah — Hole #12: Par 5

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Grand Savannah

Your first step here is to check the pin placement and wind, because this should determine where you put your drive. With a front tee box and a wind blowing towards the green, you actually have a chance to drive this green!  Play a big C3 with roll and you might actually get it there.  […]


Grand Savannah — Hole #13: Par 3

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Grand Savannah

This par 3 has three totally different tee boxes and a brutally-shaped green.  The pin placement here can be horrendous.  Do your best not to trap yourself without a clear putt at the pin!  Birdie is a great score here. EXAMPLE HOLE-OUT


Grand Savannah — Hole #14: Par 5

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Grand Savannah

This par 5 has a couple shortcuts — one is fairly easy, and one is very tough.  If you’re on one of the left tee boxes, look across the river and you’ll see a circular landing area to the back and left of a tree there.  If it’s reachable, this is your best option.  The […]


Grand Savannah — Hole #15: Par 3

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Grand Savannah

There are at least 4 tee boxes into this tough, elevated island green.  If you have to use a low-lofted club, it’s really hard to carry the green and stick it — you may have to club up to a wood and try to finesse it.  Just as important is neutralizing a side-wind if possible, […]


Grand Savannah — Hole #16: Par 5

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Grand Savannah

You will be tempted to pound your drive out into the grassy pothole dirt area straight ahead, but it’s usually not necessary.  If you get as close to the end of the fairway as you can, you’ll have anywhere from a driver to a 5-wood into the green without too much problem.  If you do […]


Grand Savannah — Hole #17: Par 3

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Grand Savannah

Death has a new face in Golden Tee 2009, and it comes in the form of a dinky little par 3 on Grand Savannah’s 17th hole.  This is already being called the toughest hole ever created, and with good reason — most people can’t escape without a bogey or much, much worse.  It’s the ultimate […]


Grand Savannah — Hole #18: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Grand Savannah

Did you escape 17 without killing your round completely?  No?  Keep at it — it’s going to take a lot of practice.  You’ll welcome anything after that, and hole 18 should be a birdie to finish your round on a positive note. The ideal setup is one where you don’t have to use driver off […]

Some guys in the Chicago area have spun some rounds on the 2009 courses already, and here’s what they are saying. I’m not sure how long it will be until we have 2009 in my area, but I’ll fill up the site with comments and reviews as I see them and when I eventually get […]

The most popular choice is to use the old hybrids (”old birds”) and the orange balls. The next most popular option is to […]


Summit Lakes — Hole #1: Par 4

By • Updated: Jan 28th, 2012 • Category: Summit Lakes

An easy par 4 to start, as usual – just try to position your tee shot with a straight-in wind so that you have the best chance of holing out your approach shot, or at least getting Great Shot Points!  Here’s an example hole-out. It’s always easy to turn left once and pound an A1 […]


Summit Lakes — Hole #2: Par 3

By • Updated: Jan 28th, 2012 • Category: Summit Lakes

This par 3 plays slightly uphill, so above all else, make sure you don’t leave it short in the water!  Here’s a backspin hole-out to a front pin, and here’s an example hole-out to a back pin.


Summit Lakes — Hole #3: Par 4

By • Updated: Sep 13th, 2017 • Category: Summit Lakes

Here’s an occasionally drivable par 4. If the lake is frozen, be glad, because most of the water the rest of the way will be too! The round will play much easier than if the water is in liquid form. From the front of this huge tee box, you can get to the green with […]


Summit Lakes — Hole #4: Par 5

By • Updated: Jan 28th, 2012 • Category: Summit Lakes

On this par 5, you should always be able to reach the bottom fairway off the tee. Don’t worry about clearing the mountain either – even a low-loft driver with roll will go straight over the edge of the mountain. Simply turn left until you are lined up to land in the rough between the […]


Summit Lakes — Hole #5: Par 4

By • Updated: Jan 28th, 2012 • Category: Summit Lakes

Don’t take this tee shot for granted – make sure you end up in the middle of the fairway, because there’s trouble right and left! Stay in the middle and you’re in good shape to birdie.  Here’s an example hole-out.


Summit Lakes — Hole #6: Par 3

By • Updated: Jan 28th, 2012 • Category: Summit Lakes

This shot is tough because the wind affects it so much.  Play one less club because of the downhill shot, and compensate for the wind more than usual since the ball will be in the air longer!  Here’s a great floater to a back pin.


Summit Lakes — Hole #7: Par 4

By • Updated: Jan 28th, 2012 • Category: Summit Lakes

This par 4 is drivable 90% of the time. The left side of this tee box is money – hit a straight wood with backspin to the green.  Here’s a nice 3-wood down and in! From the middle of the box, you’ll need to hit a B1 or a small A1 around the mountain to […]


Summit Lakes — Hole #8: Par 5

By • Updated: Jan 28th, 2012 • Category: Summit Lakes

To reach this par 5 in two, you’ll have to get on or past the little bottleneck between the fairways. Of course, there’s trouble on either side, with water on the left and nasty rough on the right. Normally, you can aim at the right small path along the lake and hit a big C3. […]


Summit Lakes — Hole #9: Par 4

By • Updated: Jul 8th, 2018 • Category: Summit Lakes

This par 4 is drivable a lot of the time. If there’s ice, it’s that much easier. Just go for it and don’t worry about getting wet. Or, if you can’t get there, line up with the wind for a straight-wind approach shot from just about anywhere. Without ice, you may have anywhere from a […]


Summit Lakes — Hole #10: Par 4

By • Updated: Jan 28th, 2012 • Category: Summit Lakes

The fairway is separated in two here. Most of the time, you’ll just want to lay up toward the end of the first fairway, which will leave you with an easy 5-wood to the green.  Here’s a hole-out from in front of the snow. If there’s a big wind and you’re at the front of […]


Summit Lakes — Hole #11: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 25th, 2017 • Category: Summit Lakes

It’s rumored that this green has been driven once or twice when the lake is ice, but you probably won’t be thinking about that! If this hole is icy, though, blast an A1 or C3 as far down the ice as you can, leaving yourself with a nice approach shot with the wind.  Here’s a […]


Summit Lakes — Hole #12: Par 3

By • Updated: Feb 25th, 2017 • Category: Summit Lakes

This hole is really tough. Adjust your club because of the elevation change, and whether or not to use backspin depends on the wind.  You’ll probably have to fight the wind here with some kind of angled shot, but if you’re off just a bit, you’ll be in the sand or worse. Good luck! There’s […]


Summit Lakes — Hole #13: Par 5

By • Updated: Feb 25th, 2017 • Category: Summit Lakes

The shortcut here is to rotate to the right a few times and try to land the ball on the green patch in between the cabins. If it looks tough, it is. If you can stick it here, though, you’ll have a wood into the green for eagle.  Don’t be long over the green, though, […]


Summit Lakes — Hole #14: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 25th, 2017 • Category: Summit Lakes

This hole is always drivable over the rock. If you’re close enough to be able to use a 3-wood, it will clear the rock.  A driver will usually hit the top of the rock, but it will bounce over. If you have to hit driver, use backspin and aim for the right side of the […]


Summit Lakes — Hole #15: Par 4

By • Updated: Jan 28th, 2012 • Category: Summit Lakes

If this hole is icy, you can get close to the green, even maybe making it with a couple lucky bounces (be careful for some of the ice holes, because there’s water still in a couple). This hole usually plays tough because of the wind and a downhill shot into the green. Try to leave […]


Summit Lakes — Hole #16: Par 5

By • Updated: Jan 28th, 2012 • Category: Summit Lakes

Your first decision will be whether or not you can reach the second fairway here, which may require a monster C3 at times (and other times it’s easy). If you get across, you have a good shot at eagle. If you’re on the back of the box and into a wind, don’t try it unless […]


Summit Lakes — Hole #17: Par 3

By • Updated: Feb 25th, 2017 • Category: Summit Lakes

A very tough par 3 with thousands of looks. A big wind is absolutely brutal here, as it will blow a shot from your high-lofted club all over. Pray for ice here in case you don’t make it on. And even if you do make it, watch out for a down 10 putt because it […]
