Grand Savannah — Hole #9: Par 4

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: Grand Savannah

No tricks here — find a distance and approach direction you’re most comfortable with, and bring it in for birdie!  Make sure to account for the upslope on the green with the approach. EXAMPLE HOLE-OUT


Grand Savannah — Hole #10: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Grand Savannah

You’ll need to find the best way to get as far down the fairway as possible, because you don’t want the trees blocking your approach shot.  Your approach is uphill and upslope, so make sure you club up and/or use roll! If you can’t clear the water very easily and/or can’t get past the tree […]


Grand Savannah — Hole #11: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Grand Savannah

Don’t get too cute with your drive — just make sure you keep it in the fairway.  You’ve got an uphill, upslope approach shot again, but sometimes the pin placement can be tough here.  If in doubt, find the middle of the green! EXAMPLE HOLE-OUT


Grand Savannah — Hole #12: Par 5

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Grand Savannah

Your first step here is to check the pin placement and wind, because this should determine where you put your drive. With a front tee box and a wind blowing towards the green, you actually have a chance to drive this green!  Play a big C3 with roll and you might actually get it there.  […]


Grand Savannah — Hole #13: Par 3

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Grand Savannah

This par 3 has three totally different tee boxes and a brutally-shaped green.  The pin placement here can be horrendous.  Do your best not to trap yourself without a clear putt at the pin!  Birdie is a great score here. EXAMPLE HOLE-OUT


Grand Savannah — Hole #14: Par 5

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Grand Savannah

This par 5 has a couple shortcuts — one is fairly easy, and one is very tough.  If you’re on one of the left tee boxes, look across the river and you’ll see a circular landing area to the back and left of a tree there.  If it’s reachable, this is your best option.  The […]


Grand Savannah — Hole #15: Par 3

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Grand Savannah

There are at least 4 tee boxes into this tough, elevated island green.  If you have to use a low-lofted club, it’s really hard to carry the green and stick it — you may have to club up to a wood and try to finesse it.  Just as important is neutralizing a side-wind if possible, […]


Grand Savannah — Hole #16: Par 5

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Grand Savannah

You will be tempted to pound your drive out into the grassy pothole dirt area straight ahead, but it’s usually not necessary.  If you get as close to the end of the fairway as you can, you’ll have anywhere from a driver to a 5-wood into the green without too much problem.  If you do […]


Grand Savannah — Hole #17: Par 3

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Grand Savannah

Death has a new face in Golden Tee 2009, and it comes in the form of a dinky little par 3 on Grand Savannah’s 17th hole.  This is already being called the toughest hole ever created, and with good reason — most people can’t escape without a bogey or much, much worse.  It’s the ultimate […]


Grand Savannah — Hole #18: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Grand Savannah

Did you escape 17 without killing your round completely?  No?  Keep at it — it’s going to take a lot of practice.  You’ll welcome anything after that, and hole 18 should be a birdie to finish your round on a positive note. The ideal setup is one where you don’t have to use driver off […]

Golden Tee Difficulty Levels!

By • Updated: Oct 6th, 2008 • Category: Miscellaneous

You learn something new each day.  Golden Tee has 5 levels of difficulty, from 1 being the easiest to 5 being the hardest.  If you own or play the offline version of the game, you can have the difficulty level set at whatever you want!  Be careful braving level 5, though — I hear all […]


Early reviews of Golden Tee 2009

By • Updated: Nov 13th, 2011 • Category: 2008 - Golden Tee LIVE 2009

Some guys in the Chicago area have spun some rounds on the 2009 courses already, and here’s what they are saying. I’m not sure how long it will be until we have 2009 in my area, but I’ll fill up the site with comments and reviews as I see them and when I eventually get […]


Eagle Crest Trivia Facts!

Thanks to Design Master Randy Christopher for supplying us with all the fun facts below! Hole #1 There are 2 porta-potties to the left of the green in the woods. Hit the out house and you’ll hear 1) “A fart, a burp and “Come Back Later”” 2) “A fart, a burp and “Oh, bad tacos”” […]


Play like the pros!

By • Updated: Nov 28th, 2008 • Category: Features, Improvement

I took in a lot of tips at the Chicago Summer Classic last weekend, and now I’m going to pass them on to you!  These tips are best for guys like me who average around -17 or so and are looking to pick up a couple strokes per round: 1) Pull the trackball back on […]


GTFan plays in the Chicago Summer Classic

By • Updated: Sep 21st, 2008 • Category: Features, Miscellaneous

Well, last weekend I was able to participate in my first Golden Tee tournament!  It was August 23 in Chicago, at the famous Flounder’s bar in Lincoln Park, by Chicago.  Going into this tourney, I’d say my average was still only about -17.  I put up my share of -20s, but I can still have […]


Revisiting short chip shots

By • Updated: Sep 19th, 2008 • Category: Chipping, Features

If there’s one area of my Golden Tee game I’ve improved the most, it’s probably my chipping from just off the green. Most amateurs have the mindset that if they roll off the green and can’t putt, they’ve lost a stroke. But, with enough practice and these tips, you’ll be holing out much more often! […]


Longest putt this year!

Congrats to Dannyboy on sinking this monster putt — will it be beaten?


Is your trackball rolling straight?

By • Updated: Sep 21st, 2008 • Category: Miscellaneous, Using the track ball

If you’re like me, you’ve had to put up with playing on a machine where the ball “pulls” to one side or the other.  So, if the ball pulls left, a normal shot straight forward will get pulled left by the flaw in the dirty trackball or rollers.  And then, to compensate, you have to […]


Beat the Clock to win prize money!

By • Updated: May 9th, 2010 • Category: Contests and prizes, Features

I’ll bet many of the amateurs have noticed that you can put up a -15 one day and crack the top 20, but if you shoot the same score during a different time of day, you might end up 30th instead. Sure, a lot of this has to do with the random talent level in […]


Golden Tee Fan’s PCC Experience!

By • Updated: Sep 21st, 2008 • Category: Features, Miscellaneous

Well this is coming a little late — this tourney was a month ago, but I still wanted to give my perspective of the first every Golden Tee tourney I’ve witnessed! My buddy Matt and I rolled into St. Charles around noon on Saturday. I was concerned about parking and even getting into the bar, […]


Decoding Golden Tee acronymns

By • Updated: Sep 21st, 2008 • Category: Miscellaneous

If you’re fairly new to the game, or even if you aren’t, you can come across acronyms in Golden Tee forums that you have no clue about. I took the liberty of asking about some of them and came up with the following small list. If you know any more, feel free to add a […]


Quirks in the game

This section is meant to capture all the quirky or unexpected things you’ve come across while playing the 2008 Golden Tee courses. I’ll also add the quirks that apply to specific holes to my course breakdowns, so that you can know what to expect when checking out each hole! 1) On Summit #7, if it’s […]


9 holes for prizes

By • Updated: May 9th, 2010 • Category: Contests and prizes

I was curious how many of the pros, if any, play 9 holes for prizes. I had the idea since you can play in half the time, for less money, yet still win as much as you’d win on 18 holes. It seems to me that if you’re playing to win money, 9 holes is […]


Golden Tee Complete course ratings!

By • Updated: Nov 13th, 2011 • Category: 2005 - Golden Tee Fore! Complete

In this article, I posted in some dialogue from a great discussion on Underdog, prompted from a question I had emailed to me. A guy with a Golden Tee Complete machine was curious how all the courses stacked up against each other in difficulty, per year. Following is the discussion that entailed — enjoy! Crawdad […]

The other picture section was getting quite large, so here’s another collection of quirky pics! First, let’s watch a little slideshow of Dannyboy sinking! Watch his shoes and feet disappear into the ground! Where’s the hole? There it is! Congrats Dannyboy on reaching exactly 10,000 GSPs! Trojan Man managed to get his ball to levitate […]

Golden Tee Clothing Inventory

Here is an updated link to my semi-complete clothing inventory in Golden Tee, so everyone can see what outfits I’ve won (at least by name). I’ve won all I can win for 2008, and it’s everything except the old Top Flite clothing. If you started playing after the 2008 courses came out, you might not […]


Using backspin unnecessarily in Golden Tee

By • Updated: Sep 19th, 2008 • Category: Backspin, roll and bite, Features

Another problem that afflicts Golden Tee beginners and some amateurs is the overuse of backspin. These guys will take away any chance they have of getting close to a back pin by landing in the middle of the green with backspin, or they will spin a shot back off the front of the green by […]


Animals, Aliens, and Bigfoot found throughout Golden Tee!
