Following are some tips on good situations to use backspin in Golden Tee: When the pin is at the front or middle of the green – this means there should be plenty of green behind the pin, so you can land the ball safely towards the middle/back of the green and roll it back towards […]

GT Par

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

You may hear this term every now and then, and it’s a good gauge to measure exactly how well you shot on a particular round of Golden Tee. Because many of the par 4s are reachable in 1 and many of the par 5s are reachable in 2, the term GT Par was born. So, […]


Golden Tee Gold Card

By • Updated: Mar 21st, 2015 • Category: Miscellaneous

Extra-long drives in Golden Tee

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

I’m no expert on this subject, but I know about it from reading forums. The best Golden Tee players can crank out 400+ yard long drives with regularity, but I’m not one of them. The secret lies in the big-hooking A1 and C3 shots. If you can visualize a clear path where your drive can […]

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

Just a heads-up tip here in Golden Tee — under the Options menu, there’s a “Skip Golfer” option. If your buddy has to buy another round for your group, or if he has to hit the head because of said consumption, you don’t have to wait for him to get back — you can just […]


Line yourself up for your approach shot

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

I hear this from more and more guys, and it’s something I need to start working on more. The Golden Tee concept here is to take the wind direction and pin placement into consideration before cranking out your drive on an unreachable par 4. You want to put yourself in the best position you can […]

Bayou Bay — Hole #1: Par 4

By • Updated: Jan 22nd, 2012 • Category: Bayou Bay

A long, mostly unreachable par 4 to start off. Set up your drive for an easy, accurate approach into this large green.  Here’s an example hole-out.


Misty Springs — Hole #1: Par 4

By • Updated: Jun 26th, 2019 • Category: Misty Springs

Only one tee box, but you can be placed anywhere on it. If you’re on the front of the tee box, you can get there with a power straight shot or an A1 or C3 (watch the trees on the right) driver. Also notice where the pin is — you don’t want to end up […]


Eagle Crest — Hole #1: Par 4

By • Updated: Jan 22nd, 2012 • Category: Eagle Crest

Let’s get started! This one is straight-forward.Drive it straight, bring your approach in, and putt for birdie.  Here’s an example hole-out.


Bayou Bay — Hole #2: Par 4

By • Updated: Jan 22nd, 2012 • Category: Bayou Bay

Another long par 4 where you usually need to avoid the trees on the right and lay up at the end of the fairway. It’s sometimes drivable with a big A1 off the front tees when the wind is blowing to the right. Don’t leave your approach shot short in the sand!  Here’s an example […]


Misty Springs — Hole #2: Par 4

By • Updated: Jan 28th, 2012 • Category: Misty Springs

Just hit to the left side of the fairway here and you won’t have to worry about the hill or trees on the right. Here’s an example hole-out.  Even if you run up the hill on the right, it will roll back down to the middle and you should be fine.


Bayou Bay — Hole #3: Par 3

By • Updated: Jan 22nd, 2012 • Category: Bayou Bay

If you’re among the tee boxes on the right, watch out for the trees – you may need to hit a B1 shot to avoid them. Don’t let your shot leak too far right towards the water! There is a hill behind the green that will stop an aggressive shot at a back pin.  Here’s […]


Misty Springs — Hole #3: Par 3

By • Updated: Jan 28th, 2012 • Category: Misty Springs

If the pin is hugging the edge, it makes it tougher to attack the flag here, but you should still come away with birdie.  Here’s an example hole-out. You may want to club up and play a small right-to-left hook with backspin to tuck the ball up to a left-side pin placement.


Bayou Bay — Hole #4: Par 5

By • Updated: Feb 25th, 2017 • Category: Bayou Bay

There are so many looks here it’s hard to list them all, but below are several examples of how you can attack this hole for eagle. From the far left front box, click left a ways and you can see a green landing area with a house to the left of it. An easy B1 […]


Misty Springs — Hole #4: Par 5

By • Updated: Jan 28th, 2012 • Category: Misty Springs

A few different tee boxes here, but the same layup spot every time. Hit to the right side of the fairway and leave yourself a nice 5-wood or 3-wood into the green, which will usually require some kind of B3 shot to curve around the trees. Here’s a nice hole-out to a back pin.  And […]


Bayou Bay — Hole #5: Par 4

By • Updated: Aug 23rd, 2019 • Category: Bayou Bay

Reachable in one, but the difficulty depends on your setup with the wind. If the wind is blowing right, it helps a ton – hit a slight B.5 – 1.5 out to the left to dodge the trees on the right. Anything else, and you’ll usually be hitting more of a A-B to 1-2 shot […]


Misty Springs — Hole #5: Par 4

By • Updated: Jan 28th, 2012 • Category: Misty Springs

Always drivable from any tee box. If you’re on the big left box, it’s usually a straight shot. If you’re on one of the 3 to the right, you’ll have to curve it around some trees. Backspin is usually required, but not always.  Here’s a nice ace with a small cut around the trees, and […]


Bayou Bay — Hole #6: Par 4

By • Updated: Jan 22nd, 2012 • Category: Bayou Bay

There are two greens on this hole! There’s only one situation where this hole is drivable – if the green is the left green, if you’re on the front of the left 3 tee boxes, and if you hit a big C3 — here’s an awesome skip-ace from the front box!. Otherwise, in most cases, […]


Misty Springs — Hole #6: Par 3

By • Updated: Jan 28th, 2012 • Category: Misty Springs

This green slopes to the right towards water, so make sure you’re not coming in from a left-to-right angle, or you may very well find that water (especially if you applied backspin, which can help pull it in the water too)!  With a back pin, this shot worked well.


Bayou Bay — Hole #7: Par 3

By • Updated: Jan 22nd, 2012 • Category: Bayou Bay

Stay out of the water on this long par 3 of around 300 yards. It’s usually a driver with backspin, and you want to land on the right side of the green since there’s strong break left towards the water.  Here’s an example ace.
