How to unlock the Ace Andrews Special achievement in EA SPORTS Rory McIlroy PGA TOUR - Definitive Guide
Probably the easiest method is to :
Select play now
Choose the Battlefield 4 course
Change course settings to Red Tee (closest) , Monday on pin select, Slow course conditions, and finally 0mph for wind speed.
As all holes are par 3`s you now have 18 consecutive chances to get a hole in one, and with the settings you have set for the round the best possible chance to get a hole in one
There is a very good chance you will also unlock these achievements aswell
Pin seeker - hit the flag stick
Golf`s magic number - shoot 59 or better (as this course has a par of 54 - you can play poorly and still achieve this)
Nothing but cup - hole a shot from over 100 yards
Good luck

I got this normally (if you play enough, you'll get it eventually), but I found an easy way to do it while going for the foursome achievement. Play the Maine course with 2-4 Rory McIlroys with slow conditions and no wind. The first Par 3 is very easy with Rory (it's one of the first few holes). I was able to get 3 of my 4 Rorys a hole-in-one (lol).
Similarly to Cre8play's solution, I would suggest using the "Portals!" challenge (#21) in the Night Club Challenge mode to get this. Land on the right portal (a little over 200 yards away and almost directly in front of you as you tee off) to be transported to the green. Once your ball hits the green, use the Remote Control boost to guide the ball to the hole. I'd suggest staying towards the right of the hole as you steer towards it, as the green on that side will help slow down the ball and make directing it easier. Don't go too far to the right, however, or you will loose momentum and not reach the hole.
If you don't have the "Now you're golfing with Portals" achievement, you will earn it as well once you travel through the portal. Depending on the golfer you're using and your club selection, you may have to drop down a club or two or even add power by tapping A during your swing to reach the portal.

The way I got this was to play the Battlefield 4 Course - set it to no wind, red tees, Monday flags, and play as Rory McIlroy. The 4th hole is set up perfect - just don't touch the direction/club, make a perfect straight swing and it should go in with no spin required. I got this whilst going for the 4 player round and aced all 4 tee shots, so I assume it's a default hole in one guaranteed as long as your swing plain is straight up and down. Good luck!!

I did exactly the same thing, 4 hole in ones in a row. I already had the achievement, but definitely an easy way to get it.

The way I got this was, as many people have said already, the Battlefield 4 map, put the settings to no wind, red tees, Monday flags and play as Rory Mcllroy, put 2-4 players and then on the 4th hole, put the distance to 222 yards using the right stick and push it forward till you reach 222 y, leave the rest then just hit it straight and it should go in, if not keep doing it till it does, mess about with the yards distance, personally I got it in on 222 y, using Rory Mcllroy, hopefully this helps, any questions, just ask
No such thing as a guide for this as, it all depends on how to play an individual shot but, you can increase your chances :-)

This cheevo popped for me on hole 21 of the Battlefield 4 night club challenge - you have to hit a number of shots to hit checkpoints but there was a final putt which apparently counted as the first shot..
Challenge Mode - Paracel Storm Course - Challenge 17
Aim for the right portal first. Apply no spin
Aim for the bottom left portal second. Apply no spin
On the putt, set an aim distance of 36ft, and aim a few nudges to the right of the hole
if you do miss, restart the challenge and adjust your aim on the putt accordingly.
Unlike most of the other guides, which there is nothing wrong with, this requires no luck

Once again boot up Paracel Storm. Hole 4 is particularly easy as it's straight but it can be unlocked on any hole on the course. Make sure to compensate for wind or disable it before you play from the options menu. Line up your shot with the blue arrow and odds are you'll easily unlock this on your first or second course.
This unlocked for me on my first try in the backboard challenge.
This also unlocked the "nothing but cup" (hole a shot from over 100 yards trophy)

Easiest way to get it :)

Absolutely easy on this game compared to previous titles.
As previously said set up 18 holes on Paracel storm, on the red tees with wind off. Make sure you have the blue ball flight arc turned on.
Line up the blue arc directly on the hole, then execute a perfect swing. 80% of the time it goes in.
Video here, note during this time playing myself and a friend got several hole in ones.

In order to get a hole in one you need to hole out from a tee shot. Par 3’s work best for this as they are the shortest holes in the game. Depending on your level of skill this trophy may come from natural play. However the hole I found the easiest was the 8th hole at Royal Troon. Set the course to Black Tees with 0 wind with the Saturday Pin Positions. This should leave you with a 52’ Wedge shot to the hole. Simply swing the ball and spin in back to get a hole in one (you will also get Nothing But Cup). This may take a few tries.
Please see the video below for this method:
Unfortunately you cannot play single holes in the game, and you can’t replay holes during a round of golf. As such, when attempting this trophy if you don’t get a hole in one on a hole in which you are trying, you will need to replay the entire course back to that hole and try again. However, this is unnecessary as there are alternative methods and locations to easily obtain a hole in one (see below).

Alternative Methods:
- You can obtain this trophy, along with Nothing But Cup and Now you’re golfing with Portals quite easily in the Night Challenge Mode. Play Challenge 21 in Wolf Creek and aim for the portal on the right hand side of the course. This will then transport your ball very close to the whole and chances are it will go in and the trophy will unlock.
- Use the setting described above and play the Parcel Storm Course (Battlefield 4) which will be unlocked when you complete the front 9 of the Wolf Creek Challenges (see Battle Begins for more details). This course consists of only Par 3’s and you shouldn’t have any trouble unlocking the trophy.
