Welcome to The Falls!  I almost wish this hole hadn’t won the “Design a Hole” contest, because although it looks really cool, it’s really tough!  I’m still finding myself in the waterfall way too often, and that water is lethal — it sucks your ball right down into the river, and you get a penalty. […]

The safe play is to lay up out to the right, far enough where you have a clear shot into the green.  But what fun is that? There’s usually room to play a small C3-type shot with a 5-wood over the trees, if the 5-wood looks like it offers the right distance to get to […]

From the right tee box on this par 5, there is a fairly big landing area along the river that offers you a shortcut into the green in two, but it is REALLY tough to stick!  It’s very hard to get around the trees and carry the landing area without getting caught up in the […]

This hole offers a lot of looks from two tee boxes set up perpendicular to each other.  If you’re closer to the barn, a 5-wood does not always clear the silo rising up in the middle, so work around that if you can.  From the front right tee box, a 3-wood clears the bar just […]

Another par 3 with drastically different looks from multiple tee boxes.  If you’re got the wind and the slope going the same direction, it’s extremely difficult to hold this green, and if you don’t, it might be wet.  You can pray that the wind is blowing opposite the slope so that you can play a […]

Woodland Farm finishes with a driveable par 4, but you’re going to have to maneuver one of the most difficult greens in the game, both in terms of shape and slope.  If your drive is short, it’s wet.  If it’s long, it might bounce back down and be wet.  If you hold the green, you […]

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 […]

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 […]

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, […]

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 […]

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 […]

Summit finishes with an almost always drivable par 4. From the back of this box, a 5-wood will go straight over the mountain. Most times, though, you will have to curve it around the mountain with an A1-type shot with backspin and hope for a safe landing on the green. Here’s a great 3-wood ace. […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Sometimes the tee box is across the water and it makes this hole more difficult, but the key is just to hammer your tee shot down the fairway (either an A1 or a long, straight drive down the left side) and stay away from the trees on the right. Even if you’re in the middle […]

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

This is a very tough, long par 4. From the 3 left boxes, the tee shot is easier – just hit an A1 around the trees and back down the fairway, leaving an easy iron to 3-wood approach shot.  Here’s a short hole-out available from a generous tee box. If you’re on one of the […]

Pin placement can make it tough to attack the pin, but the green is large – make sure you get birdie at worst!  There are tee boxes on all sides here!  Here’s a hole-out from one side.  Check out this hole-out from the other side.  Here’s another hole-out from across the lake.

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 […]

Here is one of the most favorable finishing holes in Golden Tee, where you should end up with a birdie at worst. This par 4 is always drivable, but it can set up for a straight wood shot or be a difficult C3 or A1. Just remember when hitting this shot that you don’t need […]

Play from a B.5 – 2.5 to C3 drive depending on the wind. Curve it around that corner and keep it in the fairway. From the front box, use backspin so you don’t go too far and have a tree in your way. From the back box, use topspin so you stay on the fairway […]

From the front tees, you can play a huge C3 driver with topspin to roll onto the green. From the middle box, you can sometimes play the same shot and bounce on. From the back, you can’t get there, so lay up and bring an approach in for a birdie putt.

Another huge green. Use backspin with a front pin, and use topspin or no roll to get to a back pin.

Drivable from all 3 tee boxes. You will bounce up onto the green (sometimes through the sand) and stick it for an eagle putt! From the front box, hit a B.5 – 2.5 to C3 3-wood with backspin, depending on the wind.  Here’s a great ace from there.  Here’s a nice 3-wood over the top […]

From the front tees, hit a soft C3 driver or full 3-wood with backspin to end up on the green or just off it. Sometimes your ball will skip across the water here on its way to the green! Pay close attention to where the pin is here because if it’s all the way left […]

This is a long hole that’s always difficult to reach in 2. The key is keeping your drive in the fairway to give you a chance! Lots of tee shots end up in the right rough, so keep it left and on the fairway! From the front left tee box, you can get to the […]

This one is always drivable. You will need an A1-C3 3-iron-Driver with backspin depending on the tee box and wind. From the close middle set, a nice thumb driver backspin will do the trick. From the back middle box, hit a hard driver — here’s a nice hole-out. From the left boxes, depending on wind […]

From the front box, you’ll want to cut a driver or a 2-iron underneath the rocky gate towards the green.  Use backspin, and you will often be skimming over the the hill in front of the green, but it won’t stop you from making the green.  Just try to control your distance, especially when using […]

From the left tee box on this crazy par 5, you can usually play a big A1 with roll and get your ball to either carry, skip, or bounce down to the lower-level fairway to the right.  If there’s a big wind at your back, you may consider laying up at the top of the […]
