It’s a ways downhill, so compensate a bit extra for the elevation and wind. Here’s an example hole-out. VIDEO DEMO
The safest play is to the layup patch out to the right. It’s usually a 4-5-wood to get there, almost always high-teed for extra elevation and distance. There’s some snow short, so you absolutely must carry it there — bank off the ice on the back if you need to. That should leave you with […]
If you’re towards the back middle of the box, a high-teed 3-wood can take aim directly at a center pin and clear the mountain! Keep this in mind as you line up your shot, because you may not have to curve it around. Otherwise, you’ll need to be accurate enough to curve your ball around […]
Just lay back short of the sand for your approach shot — here’s an example hole-out. Even if you do carry into the sand, you should still be able to loft a shot into the green. And here’s a hole-out after a long drive out to the second part of the fairway. VIDEO DEMO
Similar to hole #3 but a different distance. Again, it’s a ways downhill, so compensate a bit extra for the elevation and wind. Here’s an example hole-out. VIDEO DEMO
You’ll always be aiming out left for the green patch in the mountains. It’s a bit uphill, so you’ll need a little extra loft and distance — something like a high-teed 3-wood may work well. If you are a bit short, though, you can often bounce up the ice and onto the patch, so aim […]
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
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 […]
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
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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! […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Not much to this one — just don’t go long chasing a back pin. Here’s an example hole-out. VIDEO DEMO
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
