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: Nov 13th, 2011 • Category: 2007 - Golden Tee LIVE 2008

Borrowing from a blog on underdogsports, I’ve compiled votes for the toughest holes on 2008 Golden Tee Live. In most cases, votes went to holes where it’s toughest to make GT Par. There weren’t an overwhelming number of votes in that blog, but enough to be able to point out several of the potential stumbling […]

Clubs and Balls to use on Misty Springs

By • Updated: Nov 13th, 2011 • Category: Misty Springs

After polling several of the experts, there are three different ways people choose to set up for Golden Tee Live 2008 Misty Springs. The overwhelming majority of the pros prefer to play Misty Springs with the old hybrids (”old birds”) and the orange balls. Another popular choice is to use the low-loft (FTX) clubs and […]


Misty Springs — Hole #1: Par 4

By • Updated: Jun 26th, 2019 • Category: Misty Springs

Only one tee box, but you can be placed anywhere on it. If you’re on the front of the tee box, you can get there with a power straight shot or an A1 or C3 (watch the trees on the right) driver. Also notice where the pin is — you don’t want to end up […]


Misty Springs — Hole #2: Par 4

By • Updated: Jan 28th, 2012 • Category: Misty Springs

Just hit to the left side of the fairway here and you won’t have to worry about the hill or trees on the right. Here’s an example hole-out.  Even if you run up the hill on the right, it will roll back down to the middle and you should be fine.


Misty Springs — Hole #3: Par 3

By • Updated: Jan 28th, 2012 • Category: Misty Springs

If the pin is hugging the edge, it makes it tougher to attack the flag here, but you should still come away with birdie.  Here’s an example hole-out. You may want to club up and play a small right-to-left hook with backspin to tuck the ball up to a left-side pin placement.


Misty Springs — Hole #4: Par 5

By • Updated: Jan 28th, 2012 • Category: Misty Springs

A few different tee boxes here, but the same layup spot every time. Hit to the right side of the fairway and leave yourself a nice 5-wood or 3-wood into the green, which will usually require some kind of B3 shot to curve around the trees. Here’s a nice hole-out to a back pin.  And […]


Misty Springs — Hole #5: Par 4

By • Updated: Jan 28th, 2012 • Category: Misty Springs

Always drivable from any tee box. If you’re on the big left box, it’s usually a straight shot. If you’re on one of the 3 to the right, you’ll have to curve it around some trees. Backspin is usually required, but not always.  Here’s a nice ace with a small cut around the trees, and […]


Misty Springs — Hole #6: Par 3

By • Updated: Jan 28th, 2012 • Category: Misty Springs

This green slopes to the right towards water, so make sure you’re not coming in from a left-to-right angle, or you may very well find that water (especially if you applied backspin, which can help pull it in the water too)!  With a back pin, this shot worked well.


Misty Springs — Hole #7: Par 5

By • Updated: Jan 28th, 2012 • Category: Misty Springs

Two shortcut options here, and both will challenge you. From some tee boxes, you can turn left a few times and hit a 5-wood or 3-wood over the trees and onto the green landing zone in the forest (this is the one with the outhouse). This patch leaves a nice path through gaps in the […]


Misty Springs — Hole #8: Par 4

By • Updated: Apr 3rd, 2017 • Category: Misty Springs

Another always drivable par 4 from all tee boxes. Sometimes you’ll be set up for a straight 5-wood to driver, but mostly you’ll be hitting a B1 around the left of the trees with a 5-wood to driver. If you can land the green, don’t use backspin – just let the hill stop your ball. […]


Misty Springs — Hole #9: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 25th, 2017 • Category: Misty Springs

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 […]


Misty Springs — Hole #10: Par 4

By • Updated: Jan 28th, 2012 • Category: Misty Springs

You’ll be hitting to 1 of 2 fairways here, but either should be easy — just hit it far and leave a good approach shot. From the right tees, you can blast an A1 far enough out to leave a nice approach shot.  If possible, though, try to roll your ball off the top fairway […]


Misty Springs — Hole #11: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 25th, 2017 • Category: Misty Springs

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 […]


Misty Springs — Hole #12: Par 3

By • Updated: Feb 25th, 2017 • Category: Misty Springs

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.


Misty Springs — Hole #13: Par 5

By • Updated: Jan 28th, 2012 • Category: Misty Springs

Several different tee boxes here, but you’ll always be shooting at the same spot. You want to shoot out to the very left side of this crooked fairway, getting as far left and close to the trees as you can while still staying in the fairway (the rough is usually fine too though). From there, […]


Misty Springs — Hole #14: Par 4

By • Updated: Jan 28th, 2012 • Category: Misty Springs

You need to get through the narrow neck of the fairway, past the trees on the left, to have a clean look at the green in two (will probably require a 350+ drive). If you’re really far back, you might turn right and hit a C3 for added distance. If you still can’t drive past […]


Misty Springs — Hole #15: Par 4

By • Updated: Jan 28th, 2012 • Category: Misty Springs

This hole is usually drivable – just use your placement on the tee box and the wind to know whether it’s best to go around the right side or the left side of the trees. If you’re somewhere in the middle, it’s a nice wood shot to the green.  Here’s a pretty straight hole-out. If […]


Misty Springs — Hole #16: Par 5

By • Updated: Jan 28th, 2012 • Category: Misty Springs

This is the second toughest hole ever, and the toughest par 5 ever. There are 2 ways to get eagle here. If the wind somewhere between barely going left to all the way right, hit far down the left side of the fairway (C3 may be good for added distance). Try to leave yourself with […]


Misty Springs — Hole #17: Par 3

By • Updated: Jan 28th, 2012 • Category: Misty Springs

This hole can set up VERY tough! You can have anywhere between an 80-yard shot and a 250-yard shot. The green slopes big time left towards the water, and the wind is usually wicked. If you’re really close with a sick crosswind, try Sobe’s “arcade shot”. This is when you go left of the hole […]


Misty Springs — Hole #18: Par 4

By • Updated: Jan 28th, 2012 • Category: Misty Springs

An “always” drivable par 4. If this hole looks like death, that’s because it just killed the foursome in front of you. This is THE toughest hole in all of Golden Tee Golf. From the front box closest to the trees, a 5-wood will get under the trees if you’re close. If you’re on the […]
