Southern Oaks — Hole #15: Par 5

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: Southern Oaks

Get your drive past the sand down the fairway to leave yourself with a tough A1-type approach into the green.  As with many holes in Golden Tee 2010, don’t leave yourself on the wrong side of the green where you don’t have a clear putt at the hole!  Here’s a great cut-shot after a long […]


Southern Oaks — Hole #16: Par 3

By • Updated: Feb 25th, 2017 • Category: Featured Holes, Southern Oaks

This is a really tough par 3 that most of us aren’t going to be able to birdie on a regular basis.  You have to have a low-lofted club, and you usually have to cut into the slope of the green, or else you’re going to be wet.  In fact, if it weren’t for this […]


Southern Oaks — Hole #17: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Southern Oaks

This shot just demands that you nail the right distance with backspin.  It’s downhill, so don’t get crazy and blast your drive in the water, especially if you have a tailwind.  Again, the green is separated by a gap, so try not to leave yourself without a clear putt at the pin.  Here’s a crazy […]


Southern Oaks — Hole #18: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Southern Oaks

This hole can be devastating.  As if #16 weren’t enough to ruin your round, now you have to deal with this monster.  Not only that, but it’s a very tough tee shot, and a very tough approach shot, and a very tough putt!  You’ve got dangerous water off the tee on the left, which the […]


Bella Toscana — Hole #1: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Bella Toscana

This hole can be driveable at times with the right wind and equipment — but, don’t just automatically crank the longest drive you can.  Know the gaps in your clubs and don’t put yourself in a situation where you have an uncomfortable distance into the first green. EXAMPLE HOLE-OUT


Bella Toscana — Hole #2: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Bella Toscana

This hole can be driveable from the front box, which might only be available in casual play.  It may also be driveable at times from the back box with the right wind and equipment!  Normally, you’re just thumbing a drive out into the fairway, because you don’t gain anything with extra distance — leave yourself […]

HOLE-OUT FROM THE BACK BOX HOLE-OUT FROM THE FRONT RIGHT BOX HOLE-OUT FROM THE MIDDLE RIGHT BOX HOLE-OUT FROM THE MIDDLE LEFT BOX


Bella Toscana — Hole #4: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 25th, 2017 • Category: Bella Toscana

If you’re playing with the red distance balls, then this hole becomes much easier, but you certainly don’t need them.  Usually, even a 3-wood has enough loft to clear the center and left parts of the tree in your way.  If you control the distance, you’ll be on the green for an eagle putt!  Here’s […]


Bella Toscana — Hole #5: Par 5

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Bella Toscana, Featured Holes

Most guys are always laying up in the same spot, every time, on this hole.  It’s towards the end of the fairway, just left of the orange bush straight ahead.  From here, you can hit either a 3-wood or 4-wood over the hill and under the tree on top of that hill right at the […]


Bella Toscana — Hole #6: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Bella Toscana

It’s best to clear the stream if possible, so you can hole-out like this … but, if you can’t make it, lay up to the right.  Here’s a hole-out from a lay-up in front of the river. The approach shot is not easy — the green is tricky and surrounded by water.  Be extra careful […]


Bella Toscana — Hole #7: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 25th, 2017 • Category: Bella Toscana

You can have all kinds of approach shots depending on your club set and the tee box.  From the back right box, hit a 9-wood if you have it.  A 7-wood works from the back of the box, like this, but you can clip the house from the front of the box, so use a […]


Bella Toscana — Hole #8: Par 3

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Bella Toscana

Don’t get confused — there are two greens here and 4 possible tee boxes! HOLE-OUT FROM THE SECOND-FARTHEST BOX TO THE LEFT GREEN HOLE-OUT FROM THE SECOND-CLOSEST BOX TO THE RIGHT GREEN HOLE-OUT FROM THE BACK BOX TO THE RIGHT GREEN HOLE-OUT FROM THE MIDDLE BOX TO THE RIGHT GREEN


Bella Toscana — Hole #9: Par 5

By • Updated: Sep 24th, 2012 • Category: Bella Toscana

It’s easy to think you need to clear the river to have a chance at the green in 2, but that usually won’t pay off.  The fairway slopes back towards the mud and water, and you’ll probably get stuck here instead.  The reward isn’t worth the risk, even if you can hit a 7-wood or […]


Bella Toscana — Hole #10: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Bella Toscana

This hole forces you to make another decision based on the wind and pin placement.  Most of the time, you’re fine going left down low.  Your approach will be way up hill, but unimpeded, and wind won’t affect it much.  So, if you go this route, club up one for your approach.  Here’s a hole-out […]


Bella Toscana — Hole #11: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Bella Toscana

From the front boxes, you can clear the neck and the lake towards the bowl of the fairway, and then it’s a decent approach into the green — here’s an example hole-out from there.  It’s not automatic because it all slopes off into the sand, so try to hit the middle of the green.  Here’s […]


Bella Toscana — Hole #12: Par 3

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Bella Toscana

There are two possible greens on this par 3 also, and errant shots here have a chance of backing up onto the green because of the backstop created by the hill behind either green. HOLE-OUT FROM THE BACK LEFT BOX TO THE LEFT GREEN HOLE-OUT FROM THE FRONT BOX TO THE LEFT GREEN HOLE-OUT FROM […]


Bella Toscana — Hole #13: Par 5

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Bella Toscana

You’ll need to hit one of a few green grassy pods out past the fairway in order to reach this green in two.  It’s not easy, and you’ll have to have a good handle on your distances to stick the landing here.  You may also take wind and pin placement into consideration when deciding which […]


Bella Toscana — Hole #14: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 25th, 2017 • Category: Bella Toscana, Featured Holes

Believe it or not, this hole is driveable from almost any setup.  Read on! If you’re on the far right box, a 5-wood can get over the corner of the house to the green with a minor C3-type shot — here’s an example. Better yet, if you’re towards the back of this box, the 5-wood […]


Bella Toscana — Hole #15: Par 3

By • Updated: Sep 24th, 2012 • Category: Bella Toscana

This short little par 3 can be very tough, because most club sets have a gap in their wedges, and you’ll find that a lot of times here you’ll be in between clubs!  So, if you’re in between clubs here, you’ll have to hit a 3/4 shot with the longer club, which is difficult.  Don’t […]


Bella Toscana — Hole #16: Par 5

By • Updated: Feb 25th, 2017 • Category: Bella Toscana

You’ll have a choice here too depending on the wind and tee.  The best option is to clear the lake to the fairway on the other side, which gives you an open approach with your second shot.  If you get the generous front tee (only available in casual play), you can easily clear the lake […]


Bella Toscana — Hole #17: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 25th, 2017 • Category: Bella Toscana

Here is a 5-wood from the farthest right box that the tree cuts down just a tiny bit to make it a perfect shot!  You can try this shot with a 4-wood too if you have it.  I’ve also found that a 7-wood can cut over the corner of the tree with an A2-type shot.  […]


Bella Toscana — Hole #18: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 25th, 2017 • Category: Bella Toscana

A typically tough finishing hole, this green is awful and will take tremendous skill to stick it.  From the right tee box, a driver won’t clear the tree blocking your path, so take this into account. You’ll have an offset look, so you’ll have to be precise with your aim to hold this narrow green. […]

EXAMPLE HOLE-OUT


Tahiti Cove — Hole #2: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Tahiti Cove

This should be a pretty good eagle opportunity for you.  If the pin is in the middle of the split green, you goal is to leave your shot pin-high on either side of the split green so that you have a manageable putt. Remember that the shot is downhill slightly, so your drive may travel […]

HOLE-OUT FROM FRONT RIGHT BOX HOLE-OUT FROM THE MIDDLE-LEFT BOX HOLE-OUT FROM LEFT BOX


Tahiti Cove — Hole #4: Par 5

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Tahiti Cove

The best place to be off the tee is just over the water (usually a driver backspin).  From here, you can float a 5-wood over the top of the trees onto the green for an eagle putt!  Here’s a nice 5-wood hole-out from that general area.  If you have a 7-wood, you have even more […]


Tahiti Cove — Hole #5: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Tahiti Cove

There are 3 options off the tee here.  Most often, you’ll be laying back far enough to give yourself a line at the green from farther back — usually a 3-wood for the approach.  Here’s a 3-wood hole-out from laying back. If you have a closer tee box that’s lined up with the gap in […]


Tahiti Cove — Hole #6: Par 3

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Tahiti Cove

Low-lofted clubs are a big advantage here.  With a front pin, don’t be afraid to bounce a low-lofter through the sand with backspin. If you have to use a 9-wood, play the wind as best you can to leave yourself a putt, and rarely use backspin. HOLE-OUT FROM BACK LEFT BOX HOLE-OUT FROM BACK RIGHT […]


Tahiti Cove — Hole #7: Par 5

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Tahiti Cove

This should be an eagle for you just about every time — here’s how to attack it: First, if you have one of the tee boxes on the right, line up with the green.  You’ll see a landing area a bit over halfway there.  Sometimes a tree impedes the shot, but either way, this is […]


Tahiti Cove — Hole #8: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Tahiti Cove

Nothing else to do other than lay up and try to hole-out from there.
