Sequoia Grove — Hole #15: Par 3

By • Updated: Jan 2nd, 2013 • Category: Sequoia Grove

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

Sequoia Grove — Hole #9: Par 4

By • Updated: Jan 2nd, 2013 • Category: Sequoia Grove

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 […]



Bear Lodge — Hole #5: Par 5

By • Updated: Nov 9th, 2012 • Category: Bear Lodge

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 […]



Auburn Glen — Hole #16: Par 5

By • Updated: Nov 6th, 2012 • Category: Auburn Glen

If the wind is NOT blowing left and/or straight out, you’ll try to curve the ball around the mountain to the right and land on the green patch that surrounds it.   The farther around you go, the better approach shot you’ll have, because a driver can be very tough especially with a left pin. […]



Sequoia Grove — Hole #12: Par 5

By • Updated: Oct 31st, 2012 • Category: Sequoia Grove

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 […]



Straight Jacket Balls (Formerly 2007 TL Distance (Blue box))

By • Updated: Oct 30th, 2012 • Category: Golden Tee golf balls

This ball is still tied for the longest ball Golden Tee has ever made. It’s described to have “ultimate distance, with more distance on straighter shots, and less spin control for curve shots”.  As you can tell from the graph, distance is about all you’ll get, making sacrifices on backspin/roll and curved shots. *Only available […]



Spinny Balls (Formerly TL Tours)

By • Updated: Oct 30th, 2012 • Category: Golden Tee golf balls

A good all-around ball that gives you exceptional curve and superior backspin/roll.  It also doesn’t hurt you in other areas, except perhaps straight distance shots. * Last available for purchase in GT LIVE 2011.



Pummel Balls (Formerly 2007 Quartz (Yellow ball with green box))

By • Updated: Oct 30th, 2012 • Category: Golden Tee golf balls

This ball goes just slightly farther than the stock ball but has lots of spin. It’s described to have “maximum backspin and roll, with extra spin for superior curve shots”.  You can make this ball do about anything! *First available in 2007, but no longer available to purchase in GT LIVE 2013.



Hurtle Balls (Formerly 2007 XL Extreme Tour (Black and white box))

By • Updated: Oct 30th, 2012 • Category: Golden Tee golf balls

Another very long ball described to “travel the farthest, but backspin and roll are less effective”.  Very comparable to the Streak balls — slightly less distance, but slightly more curve.  This is currently the most popular ball in the game amongst the pros and is also recommended for all amateurs. *Available to purchase on GT […]



Orbit Balls (Formerly D2 Feel)

By • Updated: Oct 30th, 2012 • Category: Golden Tee golf balls

This ball is best for high, lofted shots and gives you maximum backspin/roll. Sometimes I think this ball gives me too much roll, and I’d rather have the extra distance while keeping the normal roll of other balls. *Available to purchase on GT LIVE 2010-2013.



Streak Balls (Formerly 2008 XL Extreme Distance (Yellow))

By • Updated: Oct 30th, 2012 • Category: Golden Tee golf balls

This ball gives you maximum distance and is best for low-lofted shots that can cut through the wind. The ball curves well to get maximum distance off your A1 and C3 shots.  However, you don’t get much backspin/roll at all with this ball, so it makes it difficult to get approach shots closer to the […]



Maniax Balls (Formerly 2009 Freaks)

By • Updated: Oct 30th, 2012 • Category: Golden Tee golf balls

With maxed-out aerodynamics and a faster core, the Maniax generate great distance with a touch lower spin for curve shots. These balls are also a very solid option for your all-around game. *Available for purchase on GT LIVE 2009-2013.



Player Balls (Formerly 2009 Gamers)

By • Updated: Oct 30th, 2012 • Category: Golden Tee golf balls

The Player features a resilient rubber core for better distance. The soft ionomer cover creates all the spin and control needed for curve shots. These balls are great for amateurs still getting a feel for the game as they provide a great combination of distance and spin that’s easy to control. *Available for purchase on […]



Air-O Balls (Formerly 2010 D2 Distance)

By • Updated: Oct 30th, 2012 • Category: Golden Tee golf balls

A firmer cover provides increased distance on straight shots off the tee. These balls can be exciting, because the extra distance off the tee with a B2 shot can be huge! BUT, it also becomes difficult to gauge accurate distance off the tee, because of the boost. Practice some big B2 shots off the tee […]



Ranger Balls (Formerly 2010 D2 Divas)

By • Updated: Oct 30th, 2012 • Category: Golden Tee golf balls

The low compression core creates better distance with slower swing speeds. This means you get more distance out of a “slower” shot, and the ball just settles on the green instead of having a moderate amount of spin. So, this could be good for people who can’t pound long shots, but they don’t seem to […]



Juice Balls (Formerly 2008 Long and Soft Distance (Orange))

By • Updated: Oct 30th, 2012 • Category: Golden Tee golf balls

This ball adds distance but maintains normal amount of spin for your hooking shots and backspin/roll.  It’s a great “control” ball that gives you a little extra distance to boot. *Available for purchase in GT LIVE 2008-2013.



Tracker Balls (Formerly 2010 Gamer v2)

By • Updated: Oct 30th, 2012 • Category: Golden Tee golf balls

DISTANCE — Players seem to have more “feel” with these balls, allowing them more distance control on thumb shots (especially when taking off distance).  Compared with the Orbits, the Trackers travel up to 30 yards farther on full-full shots (A1 or C3) and 10-20 yards farther on hammer shots (B2).  Thumb shots are almost identical, […]



Stock+ Balls (New to GT 2012)

By • Updated: Oct 30th, 2012 • Category: Golden Tee golf balls

These balls provide the curve shots of the standard stock ball but with greater distance. *Available to purchase in GT LIVE 2012 and 2013.



Frenzy balls (New to GT 2012)

By • Updated: Oct 30th, 2012 • Category: Golden Tee golf balls

With cutting edge aerodynamics, this ball generates more distance with a bit more spin for curve shots. *Available to purchase in GT LIVE 2012 and 2013.



Torpedo Balls (New to GT 2012)

By • Updated: Oct 30th, 2012 • Category: Golden Tee golf balls

Use these low-loft balls for good distance with maximum backspin and roll. *Only available to purchase in GT LIVE 2012.

Jackrabbit Junction — Golden Tee 2013

By • Updated: Oct 30th, 2012 • Category: Jackrabbit Junction

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 […]



Bear Lodge — Hole #17: Par 3

By • Updated: Oct 25th, 2012 • Category: Bear Lodge

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 […]
