Here is an example ace from the middle-right box. Here’s a short little dunk from the front box. VIDEO DEMO
From the middle-right box, there’s room to work a shot just inside the last tree — here’s an outstanding 5-wood ace from that setup. And here’s a 4-wood that used the rough to land and find a pin on the right edge. Finally, this 2-hybrid used a skip with backspin to find the cup! You […]
Here’s the first YouTube of 2013 from AK at IT — a bender through the giant sequoias into the green! Here’s an example hole-out. VIDEO DEMO
Three shot options here depending on the wind and pin placement. You can either go around the left, around the right, or straight through depending on your setup. This 5-wood curved around the left side from the front box. And this one went right through the gap and got a nice kick back off the […]
From the middle box, if you have a decent wind, you can play a high-teed 3-wood through the gap, like this amazing ace! From the back-right box and with a great wind, you also have a chance, especially with a long driver — here I am just barely missing the hole! Often times you’ll opt […]
Here’s an ace from the second-closest box. Here’s a great 9-wood hole-out from the second farthest box followed by another one from the back box. Finally, check out this incredible pinball action — THREE bounces back and forth off the trees and shot into the hole! VIDEO DEMO
Most of the time you’ll be shooting to a spot in the fairway that leaves you an opening through a gap in the trees towards the green. Draw a line from the green through the gap in the forest to a point in the fairway to know where to shoot. Here’s a nice 4-wood […]
Most of the time, you’ll be trying to hit a low-lofted shot through the hole in the bottom of the tree. However, it’s very easy to miss high and ram right into it. The trick is to try to land your ball well short of the green, because you’ll get a lot of bounces downhill […]
If you’ve got a big wind blowing towards the green, you can high tee this one and try to drive it! This shot came pretty close to the green and gave a nice eagle chip. Otherwise you’ll want to get out to the left edge of the fairway (while staying dry, of course). This drive […]
This 7-wood from the second-closest box went right through the gap and found a right pin. From the back box, this 3-wood went around the left side of the trees and sucked back into the hole. This 9-wood also floated around the left side with a right-blowing wind and found the cup. VIDEO DEMO
Here is an awesome 3-wood ace from the left-center box. This high-teed 5-wood found the cup from there as well. This 3-wood came around the left side with a great B1 shot and found the hole. This one came around with more angle for the dunk! And this low-teed driver skip was a great play […]
Incredible risk here if you want a double-eagle chance. It’s very easy to stroke-limit if you get stuck in amongst those trees, and then your round is gone. This driver got through the tiny gap and found the hole for an ace! This 4-wood found the hole, but on the second try for eagle instead. And this […]
Here is a fantastic low-teed driver cut through the gap and into the hole. This one came in pretty hot after a big hop and an out-wind but still found the hole! If the wind is blowing hard left, you may need to rotate another click left and play more of an A2-type shot instead […]
Here is a description of this new course for Golden Tee 2013: “Situated directly under the sweltering sun, Jackrabbit Junction is an 18-hole trek well off the beaten path. Unlike most desert courses, this Gila Bend, Arizona creation is not jam-packed with sand, but instead spreads across the dry, sun-drenched earth that stopped growing grass […]
The following grid breaks down the best and worst you should be able to shoot on Jackrabbit Junction relative to the possible setups you could get on each hole: Hole Par GT Par Total Min Max Min Max 1 4 3 3 -1 -1 2 4 3 3 -2 -2 3 3 2 2 -3 […]
Never drivable, and with a narrow fairway, all you can do is put it out there and bring it in for birdie. Here’s an example hole-out. VIDEO DEMO
Again, not much to do here but get it out to the bend in the fairway for your approach. Don’t hang it out right or a little cactus might spoil your round early! Here’s an example hole-out. This hole can be drivable from the front boxes, some of which may only be available in casual […]
Many different tee boxes here, but you’ll just be plopping your tee shot onto the green for a birdie putt. Normally no danger in being a bit long, as you can bounce back off the hill. So just worry about carrying the green, and don’t get crazy with backspin. Here’s an ace from one of […]
If you can use a high tee and blast your drive out to the second fairway, it’s certainly best — here’s a wide-open 7-wood hole-out from there. Even from the back box, a high-teed drive can many times carry over. Staying to the left is a plus too, since a cactus guards the right side […]
This shot is easiest from the left-center box — normally a high tee right at the green, even though a high tee wouldn’t always be needed. Here’s a high-teed 5-wood ace from there. The same shot works from the right-center box where a high tee is most often needed. Or you can work a shot around […]
The only danger here would be an unforced error by placing your drive between fairways. Don’t do it — just lay up towards the end of the first fairway. Here’s a 5-wood hole-out from there. There are some setups where you can clearly drive the second fairway, so that’s fine too — here’s a hole-out […]
This hole plays uphill, so you’ll usually need to play a little extra distance to stay pin-high. But above all else here, keep your ball on the same tier as the pin! It can be tempting to be aggressive, but you’ll likely cost yourself a stroke if you have to putt up or down a […]
You should always at least be attempting to drive this green, because there’s no danger around it. Here’s a high-teed 3-wood with a small cut from the front box. This 5-wood played a much bigger cut and found the hole. The front box may also provide an option to shoot through a gap in the […]
As long as you can pull back and hammer a solid drive, you should always be using a high tee to cut the corner of the fairway over the left side of the hill. There are several gaps in the cacti, and it’s rare to actually catch one. Even if you do, it’s also rare […]
Your shot here depends on the pin location and the wind. You’ll usually curve over or in with the direction of the wind. The best setups allow you to use a medium-teed 9-wood so that you can use backspin to hold the green. Another good setup allows you to high-tee a 9-wood into a headwind […]
This hole is tricky because it combines an elevated green with a likely gap in your club distances. Many times you’ll want to change tee height to get the distance you want. Be careful with the low-teed 9-iron, because elevation will be lower AND backspin is stronger! Here’s an ace into a tough pin from the […]
From the tee boxes closest to the green and a hard wind blowing at the green, this hole can be drivable! From the front box, you can high-tee a driver and blast a shot straight at it. From the next box, there is also the potential of aiming straight at it, although there’s risk of […]
Three different fairway approaches to the hole create variety on this short par 4, which is all about distance control. You need to clear the hill in front while trying not to fall off the slope on the back. Here’s an ace coming down the right fairway, where the angled green makes the shot slightly […]
Lots of little fairway patches to choose from off the tee — pick one you are comfortable with, or if you are confident, pick the one that gives you the best approach shot given the wind and pin. The fairway to the right is the safest, and here’s a 4-wood hole-out from the left edge […]
Many different tee boxes here give you different slopes to deal with, but all are challenging. With a wind blowing to the right, you’ll have to cut a shot into the wind and slope to hold the green. Favor over-cutting it here — the hill can still project your ball back onto the green, but […]
