As you would expect, Golden Tee has added a ton of new features to Golden Tee 2009…not just new courses! It may be more difficult for players to find shortcuts in Golden Tee 2009 — and, you’ll notice that a lot of the greens are shaped to make it much more challenging to put it […]

Southern Oaks — Hole #1: Par 4

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

Some guys are driving this hole with a tailwind using a low-loft driver and the red D2 distance balls!


Southern Oaks — Hole #2: Par 5

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

As long and as far left in the fairway as you can be — that should always be your mentality off the tee.  This usually leaves something like a 3-wood cut into the green. There’s also a mini-shortcut through the trees after a pretty standard long drive.  After pounding your drive out there as best […]


Southern Oaks — Hole #3: Par 3

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

HOLE-OUT FROM THE BACK BOX HOLE-OUT FROM THE SECOND-CLOSEST BOX HOLE-OUT FROM THE SECOND-FURTHEST BOX


Southern Oaks — Hole #4: Par 4

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

From the far right box, you’ll have to hook it around the trees with backspin, possibly needing a water skip for the correct distance to hold the green.  A 5-wood A2-type shot with backspin can work too if you’re good at cutting back distance.  Or, you can use the hill as a backstop, as was […]


Southern Oaks — Hole #5: Par 4

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

Just lay up long next to the water to bring in your approach shot — make sure you’re far enough out there to have a straight shot in, and the farther left you are, the less club you’ll need.  Make sure you carry the green on the fly, because there are some weird bounces if […]


Southern Oaks — Hole #6: Par 3

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

This is a really tough par 3 that requires a very precise tee shot to have a birdie putt.  You’ll often be working the ball right-to-left to hold the green.  From the front box, hit 3-wood or a 5-wood, like this. From the middle box, hit 3-wood or driver.  Here’s a hole-out with the driver. […]


Southern Oaks — Hole #7: Par 4

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

Here you’ll almost always be hitting a straight-180 shot, usually with backspin (unless there’s a strong headwind), aimed at the rough between the green and the hill to the right of it.  Use as much loft as you can while still giving you the distance you need.  A 5-wood has the perfect loft, a 4-wood […]


Southern Oaks — Hole #8: Par 5

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

From the back box, lay up in the fairway as long and left as you can.  From here, you can bring an A1-type approach shot into the green, usually with no backspin, as shown here.  It’s better to be left than long, because even if you don’t tee off long, you could still have a […]


Southern Oaks — Hole #9: Par 4

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

Don’t just blindly blast a drive as far as you can here — the better play is to hit something like a 5-wood off the tee, close to the water.  This gives you another lofted 5-wood to work with on the approach, where you can float it over the trees instead of having to curve […]


Southern Oaks — Hole #10: Par 4

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

There’s no big advantage here to carry the water around the corner off the tee, so just lay back for an approach shot that’s not much more difficult.  Here’s a holeout from the middle fairway, well behind the winding river.  The green is pretty long, so if the pin is in the back, lay off […]


Southern Oaks — Hole #11: Par 4

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

The best play off the tee is to aim out left, giving you a clean look into the green with a 5-wood or 3-wood.  Here’s a 3-wood knocked down perfectly by the tree guarding the green, and here’s another one that lands cleanly and finds the hole.  If you do stay to the right, a […]


Southern Oaks — Hole #12: Par 3

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

This shot can be a little intimidating with some cross wind, but don’t panic.  In the case of a cross-wind, play a very small cut shot into the wind to keep your ball straight through the gap.  If you don’t play cut shots very often, be careful to only pull very slightly to the left […]


Southern Oaks — Hole #13: Par 5

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

This one is tough to reach in 2.  The fairway sand is strategically-placed to envelop a tee shot that’s too aggressive, and then you’d have to lay up.  Similarly, if you’re not aggressive enough and leave your tee shot too far to the left, you can’t make it in 2 either.  However, a 9-wood can […]


Southern Oaks — Hole #14: Par 4

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

You’ll almost always be hitting over the trees, pretty straight at the green.  However, club selection is very important!  A 5-wood can usually clear the trees no problem, a 4-wood clears all but the highest spots of tree, and a 3-wood needs to be over the gap in the middle or around the upper sides […]


Southern Oaks — Hole #15: Par 5

By • 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 […]


Bella Toscana — Hole #3: Par 3

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

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
