Here’s an ace from the middle box. From the back center box, this one rolled around the hill and found the cup! VIDEO DEMO
Here’s a nice 3-wood from the back right box that carried the green and found the cup. And this driver curved around the left to suck back into the hole! This driver from the back-center box caught a nice little hop towards the cup. Here’s a 5-wood from the middle box that caught some nice […]
Nothing wrong with laying up straight ahead, just leave yourself a bit of clearance from the sand mound on the approach. Here’s an example hole-out. If you get a good setup and really crave a big drive (or if you get the much closer tee box), you can reach the second part of the fairway […]
Here’s a nice one-hop hole-out from the end of the first fairway. Here’s a hole-out from the second fairway after a long drive. VIDEO DEMO
If you play out left, you need to lay back a ways from the sand mound, otherwise you may not have enough loft to clear it towards the green. At the same time, you can’t be so far back that a driver won’t even get there in two. This driver had just enough to clear […]
This par 3 can be really tough, especially with a bad wind and/or if you have the back box. Sometimes it’s best to work a very small-cut driver against the wind/slope to hold the green. Here’s an awesome 3-wood dunk from the back box. Here’s a one-hopper from the front-right box. This 7-wood found the cup […]
Club down and hit it hard! You need as much loft as possible into this elevated green guarded by a hill and pot bunkers. Short is bad, and long is wet, so you need to nail the distance. If in doubt, aim for the grassy hill in between the bunkers and hope to hop over […]
This hole can be drivable from the front boxes with a high tee and a nice wind. Here’s an amazing shot from the front-right box that hopped the bunker and almost found the hole! This one came within an inch of dropping. With an out-wind, you can also go straight at it with the high […]
With a tailwind, blast a long drive down the fairway, where you should have enough to get there in two. Hit it straight or curve it and try to get past the bridge a ways. The overhanging bridge can be in play if you hit it too hard, so you’ll want the ball on the […]
Here’s a nice little ace from the left-center box. Here’s another ace from the left box. This one got a great deflection from the right-center box. And check out this amazing putt that got a hop off the hill and trickled all the way down and in! VIDEO DEMO
Here’s a nice 4-wood with backspin from the far right box. In contrast, here’s a great 7-wood from there as well. This 5-wood rolled in nicely from the center box. Check out this ferocious 3-wood dunk from the back box! VIDEO DEMO
Here is a description of this new course for Golden Tee 2013: “Nestled between some of Alaska’s tallest mountains, Hatcher Pass is the location of Bear Lodge, and one of the most breathtaking 18-hole adventures that nature has to offer. With the snow-covered mountain tops serving as a backdrop, a variety of traditional golf elements […]

From the front boxes, this hole can be drivable! Check out this medium-teed driver ace with roll from the front-right box. This one found the green from the front-center box with a high tee. And Mouth did find the cup with this huge effort! VIDEO DEMO
With a good tee box and wind this hole can be drivable! You may have a shot straight at it with a huge tail wind, but the safer play is to curve a big high-teed driver around the trees. This long drive found the green. Otherwise, lay up out in the fairway. Here’s an example […]
Here’s an ace from the front box followed by one from the middle-right box. This 3-wood found the cup from the back box. There’s also another box across the way possibly only available in casual play — here’s an ace from there. VIDEO DEMO
Here’s a nice 3-wood ace from the left-center box followed by one floated in from the right-center box. The hole gets long from the back boxes. You can work a driver through the gap in the middle like this nice shot from the back right box. Or, you can high tee something like a 3-wood and go […]
You usually need to carry across if you want to reach the green in two — the first island fairway should be too far away. However, if you find the very end of the fairway and are a big hitter, you may be able to still get there — check out this awesome hole-out. Sometimes […]
As long as you get towards the farther half of the middle fairway, you should have an open approach. Here’s a 5-wood dunk from there! It is certainly possible at times to drive the far fairway, and you can go for it if you’re comfortable — here’s a hole-out from there. VIDEO DEMO
From the back left box, this one can be really tough. The trees reach out and it almost looks undrivable, but it can be done — you’ll just need the right angle of pullback, and take it all the way out to 3 or past. Here’s an excellent 3-wood ace from the back-left box. You […]
Here’s a 9-wood ace from the middle-left box followed by a shorter ace from the middle-right box. VIDEO DEMO
You can reach the green either from the narrow strip to the left or by blasting a long drive down the fairway. If you can confidently hit towards the second half of the narrow strip given a good tee box, you’ll be rewarded with an easier approach shot — here’s a great 5-wood hole-out from […]
Here’s an example hole-out after a long drive around the corner. It works perfectly well to lay up straight ahead between the sand too — here’s a straight-in hole-out from there. At worst you may have a small cut into a left pin. VIDEO DEMO
Here’s a nice 7-wood from the front-left box followed by a 5-wood ace from the back-right box. VIDEO DEMO
Here’s a great hole-out playing a small curve around the trees. If you lay back farther left, you’ll have a better angle to the green — here’s a 5-wood dunk. VIDEO DEMO
Most of the time it’s just fine hitting straight out to the fairway — you may need just a small cut into the green. Here’s a great 3-wood curved around and in. The only time it may be rough is if the wind is blowing away from the green towards the water. In this case, […]
Some guys have gotten close to driving the green here, at least getting close enough for a short chip shot. Check out this insane long drive. Don’t expect these results, but check out how this high-teed driver skipped the water with a tailwind! It’s never a bad option to lay up behind the sand straight […]
Here’s a nice 5-wood ace around the left side from the back-right box. Here’s another one over the top of the right side. And check out the unbelievable deflection this one gets off the rock face! This 5-wood dunked in the hole from the next box to the left. Here’s a 3-wood one-hopper from the […]
Here’s a tough par 5 that can be really difficult to reach in two. It often takes two great shots. Here are your options off the tee: 1) If you have the distance, blast it straight ahead through the fairway into the rough by any means possible. This gets you a pretty straight look into […]
Lots of tee boxes here, from the side to the back, will give you many challenging looks. Here’s a 9-iron from the side that caught a nice bounce into the hole. This one was well-played to a left-center pin. This one was well-played from behind the hole, and so was this one. And this shot found […]
