This hole is usually drivable – just use your placement on the tee box and the wind to know whether it’s best to go around the right side or the left side of the trees. If you’re somewhere in the middle, it’s a nice wood shot to the green.  Here’s a pretty straight hole-out. If [...]

You need to get through the narrow neck of the fairway, past the trees on the left, to have a clean look at the green in two (will probably require a 350+ drive). If you’re really far back, you might turn right and hit a C3 for added distance. If you still can’t drive past [...]

Several different tee boxes here, but you’ll always be shooting at the same spot. You want to shoot out to the very left side of this crooked fairway, getting as far left and close to the trees as you can while still staying in the fairway (the rough is usually fine too though). From there, [...]

Pin placement can make it tough to attack the pin, but the green is large – make sure you get birdie at worst!  There are tee boxes on all sides here!  Here’s a hole-out from one side.  Check out this hole-out from the other side.  Here’s a nice floater straight down at it.  Here’s another [...]

This is a very tough, long par 4. From the 3 left boxes, the tee shot is easier – just hit an A1 around the trees and back down the fairway, leaving an easy iron to 3-wood approach shot.  Here’s a short hole-out available from a generous tee box. If you’re on one of the [...]

You’ll be hitting to 1 of 2 fairways here, but either should be easy — just hit it far and leave a good approach shot. From the right tees, you can blast an A1 far enough out to leave a nice approach shot.  If possible, though, try to roll your ball off the top fairway [...]

Sometimes the tee box is across the water and it makes this hole more difficult, but the key is just to hammer your tee shot down the fairway (either an A1 or a long, straight drive down the left side) and stay away from the trees on the right. Even if you’re in the middle [...]

Another always drivable par 4 from all tee boxes. Sometimes you’ll be set up for a straight 5-wood to driver, but mostly you’ll be hitting a B1 around the left of the trees with a 5-wood to driver. If you can land the green, don’t use backspin – just let the hill stop your ball. [...]

Two shortcut options here, and both will challenge you. From some tee boxes, you can turn left a few times and hit a 5-wood or 3-wood over the trees and onto the green landing zone in the forest (this is the one with the outhouse). This patch leaves a nice path through gaps in the [...]

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.

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 [...]

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 [...]

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.

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.

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 [...]

Here is one of the most favorable finishing holes in Golden Tee, where you should end up with a birdie at worst. This par 4 is always drivable, but it can set up for a straight wood shot or be a difficult C3 or A1. Just remember when hitting this shot that you don’t need [...]

This long par 5 has a tee shot that is sometimes the toughest in the game. To get there in 2, you’ll need to go down the squiggly fairway and be close enough to get a wood to the green. Hitting to just in-between the first 2 bunkers will leave you about 360-400 to the [...]

Here’s a tough par 3 that can ruin your round. This hole can set up anywhere from a sand wedge to a 3-wood depending on the tee box and wind, but it always has a hard left-sloping green towards the sand. If you’re close enough for a small iron or wedge, and the wind is [...]

The best way to play this hole is to position your drive so that you have a low-lofted club into the green (a huge tree will catch any high-lofted approach shot). You need to get out far enough past the trees on the left, but not so far that the big approach tree is too [...]

You’ll need a big A1 drive off the tee with topspin (into a headwind) or backspin (with a tailwind), also depending on the angle you get from tee. Make sure you get the ball as far left on the fairway as you can without actually going in the rough, and you’ll have the best approach [...]

Once again, make sure you’re not short!  This one can be tough too.  With a front pin, aim for the back of the green and use backspin.  Here’s an example hole-out. With a back pin, make sure you aim for the back of the green again with no roll.  The wind affects tee shots here [...]
