Quirks in the game
By Golden Tee Fan • Category: Miscellaneous •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 icy and you go long past the green on the ice, it’s OB.
2) On Misty #13, there’s a wall on the fringe preventing bump-and-run chips or other shots from rolling up onto the green.
3) On Misty #18, you can get caught underneath a rock in front of the green where you’ll stroke limit.
4) You can hit “invisileaves” on the following courses and holes:
Eagle #17
Bayou #’s 5,8,9,10
Misty #18
Cypress — #2, #4, #5, and a handful of other places
5) On Eagle Crest hole #5, if you drive the green and barely touch the fringe on the bottom close to the sand, and then if you try to putt, it will bounce backward into the sand.
6) On Misty Springs hole #7, if you hit the leaves on the right with a 3-wood on your second shot, it goes right through!
7) Summit #15 - It’s possible to hit into the water (with water sound effect and splash on screen) when it’s ice around the green. However, there’s no penalty. I’m talking about the edges of the ponds around the green. Get too close and you’ll go wet. This would fall into the glitch category.
On Summit #13, you can actually hit your drive - on the fly - in between the virtual 2 inch opening between the Bags machine and the house where it will rattle around, give you an Unplayable Lie and drop you on the back rough to essentially give you a 2 stroke penalty.
9) There was once a hole-in-one where the ball sat on the top of the hole and didn’t fall. It was pretty cool…kinda like in real life when the ball is stuck between the pin and the hole, but it wasn’t touching the pin…
10) You can get inside any outhouse and just be stuck for stroke limit.
11) On Eagles #10, there’s an unplayable lie black strip on the left side rough.
12) There are some angled rocks on Summit where if you roll right under them, you can hit through them (they don’t come up as transparent).
13) Just got this one in from Skipper:
Glacier #10, guy went in water, drop was on the sand(?) in front/below of the big wood wall in front of the green. He had to hit back to the fairway (170+yds) to try to get back to the green.

I’ve done the back of the Bags machine. Sucky.
I got the “Jet Pack” on Summit #4. My ball is lying in the air after shot #1. It’s stuck over the cliff. I hit shot #2, the ball starts toward the green, gets over 1/2 way there, then turns around and ends up back in the same spot, and you can see your golfer’s feet at the top of the screen just as the ball gets back. You end up stroking out.
EC #14: If you somehow end up on the bricks around the fountain, it’s
unplayable.
