Grand Canyon — Golden Tee 2012

Here is a description of this new course for Golden Tee 2012: “Take a golfing journey from the top of the north rim all the way down to the bottom of the great chasm. While water is sparse through much of this 18-hole excursion, the streams and waterfalls you encounter will certainly impact your round. […]

Grand Canyon — Hole #1: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 12th, 2012 • Category: Grand Canyon

This opening hole is drivable with a high tee from the front box — check out this nice little hop!  This hole-out didn’t even require a high tee because the look was so good — nice. Here’s an amazing hole-out from the middle box with a huge A1 high-teed driver!  Here’s another amazing ace with […]


Grand Canyon — Hole #2: Par 4

By • Updated: Nov 6th, 2011 • Category: Grand Canyon

Nothing special here either — just pick a spot and bring it in for birdie.  Here’s an example hole-out. VIDEO DEMO


Grand Canyon — Hole #3: Par 3

By • Updated: Nov 6th, 2011 • Category: Grand Canyon

This green is big and fairly flat, so don’t lose a stroke here trying to chase a pin tucked away to the edge.  Keep the pin between your ball and the rough, make your birdie, and move on.  Here’s an example hole-out. VIDEO DEMO


Grand Canyon — Hole #4: Par 5

By • Updated: Nov 6th, 2011 • Category: Grand Canyon

There’s never an issue taking it out to the right fairway.  Make sure you carry it far enough but not all the way through, as it slopes downward a bit.  Use a tee or backspin to stick the center of it.  Here’s an example hole-out from the right fairway. There may be certain wind conditions […]


Grand Canyon — Hole #5: Par 4

By • Updated: Dec 9th, 2011 • Category: Grand Canyon

This hole tests your elevation control, as the wind will play a big part on the way down.  You shouldn’t need to apply any spin here unless you have a tailwind, in which case you should use bite or backspin.  You may also use bite if a side-wind is blowing away from the flag.  Here’s […]


Grand Canyon — Hole #6: Par 4

By • Updated: Nov 6th, 2011 • Category: Grand Canyon

Here’s another standard, flat par 4 where nothing but fairway or green should ever come into play.  Here’s an example hole-out. VIDEO DEMO


Grand Canyon — Hole #7: Par 3

By • Updated: Nov 6th, 2011 • Category: Grand Canyon

This par 3 is where things start to get slightly tricky.  This usually isn’t the place to go pin-hunting either — do what you can to stick the middle of the green and give yourself a putt.  Don’t bring any trouble into play by being too aggressive, because this front 9 is very manageable and […]


Grand Canyon — Hole #8: Par 5

By • Updated: Nov 6th, 2011 • Category: Grand Canyon

I haven’t seen a need yet to even consider the right fairway.  The left fairway is always reachable, usually without a high tee, but you might want a high tee to be safe.  Line up with the fairway that juts towards you and hit it straight and hard.  This should leave you a nice approach […]


Grand Canyon — Hole #9: Par 4

By • Updated: Apr 3rd, 2017 • Category: Grand Canyon

From almost every setup, a high-teed 9-wood can go straight at the green if you’ve got the distance.  Here’s a perfect example of where you’d play this shot to a back pin.  This one actually comes at it from the left — what a crazy shot!  And this one involves a bank, which is even […]


Grand Canyon — Hole #10: Par 4

By • Updated: Aug 7th, 2012 • Category: Grand Canyon

This hole looks harder than it actually plays.  Rotate right a couple clicks and play a C2.5-type shot with a hard cut around the mountain, usually with backspin.  This helps the ball come back left and gives you a better angle at the green.  No matter where you end up off the tee, you should […]


Grand Canyon — Hole #11: Par 3

By • Updated: Nov 6th, 2011 • Category: Grand Canyon

Lots of tee boxes here create many different looks at this downhill par 3.  Account extra for the wind and recognize the presence of a big grassy hill on the right — it can help or hurt you depending on how you bring it into play.  Again, the best shot is to the center of […]


Grand Canyon — Hole #12: Par 5

By • Updated: Apr 3rd, 2017 • Category: Grand Canyon

The left or right fairway works here — it’s usually wind-specific.  To the right, you can hit it long and straight or curve a big A1-type shot over there, trying to get past the sand.  You don’t have to be dead accurate — it can bounce off the walls a bit and settle, still giving […]


Grand Canyon — Hole #13: Par 4

By • Updated: Apr 3rd, 2017 • Category: Grand Canyon

This is the hole that seems to define your round.  The risk/reward is more evident here than anywhere.  It requires a precise A1-type curve around this mountain with exact distance to hold this green and give yourself an eagle putt.  If you miss in any direction, you risk the chance of a re-tee, which is […]


Grand Canyon — Hole #14: Par 4

By • Updated: Apr 3rd, 2017 • Category: Grand Canyon

If you get the front left box, you can high-tee a 3-wood and play a small cut through the gap — here’s an ace from that box. From the middle box, this hole may be drivable — check out this high-teed 3-wood that nearly went in!  It takes a precise shot through this gap, but it […]


Grand Canyon — Hole #15: Par 4

By • Updated: Jan 28th, 2012 • Category: Grand Canyon

Gauge the wind here to determine the tee shot that will give you the best approach into the green.  First, you can rotate left and play a drive straight over to the second fairway.  You may sometimes want a high tee to ensure your distance is enough.  This gives you a clear shot at the […]


Grand Canyon — Hole #16: Par 5

By • Updated: Sep 7th, 2012 • Category: Grand Canyon

This hole presents all kinds of opportunities!  The green can be driven most of the time, but you’ll have to control a deflection off one of a couple rocks while choosing the right club depending on the wind. If the wind is blowing between 3:00 and 6:00, play a high-teed 5-wood with backspin into the […]


Grand Canyon — Hole #17: Par 3

By • Updated: Apr 3rd, 2017 • Category: Grand Canyon

In beta, this hole did NOT have a sand trap in front.  If you played the Flares and had a strong wind in your face, you didn’t have much option other than stroke limit, so be thankful you now have somewhat of a bail-out spot! This hole alone makes me want to use Hawks to […]


Grand Canyon — Hole #18: Par 4

By • Updated: Apr 3rd, 2017 • Category: Grand Canyon

Here you’ll be aiming straight through the small gap straight ahead, to the left of the green.  It’s too risk to try to cut it left to right — instead, shoot straight through and use the hill to the back left of the green to deflect back down onto the green.  There is water left […]
