I found other guides were pretty rough to follow and involved a lot of luck and pixel perfect accuracy, so i made my own.

Keep in mind the last hole is super rough on Xbox, it just is what it is it seems.

Excellent guide, made this about as painless as it can be. I managed par on my second attempt and had several frustrating mishaps, so perfection is not required.

That last bit on hole 18 where you have to avoid those flying sentry things was some seriously stressful shit with only 7 strokes to spare going in! I wasn’t sure I had enough strokes left to use your “lay-up” method so I shot directly at the hole area with two power when the opening between them seemed the biggest. It ricocheted off the round post into the center area and ended up just out of the reach of one of the robots. I then missed the next easy putt because I tried to hit it as fast as I could before they grabbed it…thought I had blown it, but tapped it in and was massively relieved to see I finished on 61 exactly.

Thanks for sharing! You have my upvote! The last hole did some very weird things in my game and I ended up running out of time. Luckely I still ended up 1 below par! :)

Didnt expect to tear up this morning but thanks for the kind words

Thumbs up for the good guide. I was following the other guides on youtube, but starting with hole 13 they are doing pixel perfect shots. The above video is easily the best guide for the non-pixel perfect people around here.

By GV Loc on 03 Nov 2020 23:13

The last hole(18) is pretty hard, but here is a tip: If you finish the most holes under par with 1(birdie) or 2(eagle) shots left, you can completely skip the hole 18 by not not doing anything, since the penalty for not finishing is -14 points, you can still gen PAR or under PAR.

By GV Loc on 03 Nov 2020 23:17

Thank you Tony!!! You're the best man. Great, easy to follow commentary and you kept it simple enough for people without perfect accuracy to be able to get this. Thanks to your guide, I was able to get a 53 and the achievement :)

Well, since game physics always work against me (there have been many times I've followed walkthroughs such as these to the letter only to end up having something completely different happen), I am not the least bit surprised to have spent a lot of time and frustration in this attempt only to get completely screwed on hole 17. I just don't have the heart to try again tonight.

By RJ Rouge on 16 Nov 2020 05:44

I had to do this course almost 5 times on Xbox as I kept getting screwed over. Whether it was bad luck or just poor instructions in the video is unclear, but this course is fucking horrible.

By Yazite on 19 Nov 2020 11:31

Yes that course is horrible, took me like 2 hours to get the cheevo.

By vl3tH4l1tYv on 22 Nov 2020 18:50

thank you

By It Is Reap on 22 Dec 2020 15:57

10:01 is the most delicate shot of the course and of course your video lags just there

Thanks for the guide nevertheless!

By Osmo76 on 02 Jan 2021 11:50

Thanks for the guide man. That last hole is ridiculous, it spoiled so many of my great runs.

By DARK JEDI IV on 08 Jan 2021 03:24

@Yazite yeah man this course is one of the toughest ones in the game

By DARK JEDI IV on 08 Jan 2021 03:25

Between your video and ghostzapper for 5 or 6 easy hole in ones I just beat this .cheers and thanks man

By LUKASSLOVESBEER on 21 Jan 2021 01:16

shit level and had so many bad bounces but ty for the video.

By TheOnlyMatto on 21 Jan 2021 06:11

Great video guide, managed to get this course done first try!

By II RENEGADE II on 28 Jan 2021 01:58

Solid guide, that last hole was very stressful for time. I was 13 strokes under when I got there, so as long as I got it there I would be good, running out of time meant finishing 1 over lol.

By GrimaceTheGrey on 28 Jan 2021 14:40

Great guide, thank you so much!

By iManuBAD iT on 07 May 2021 20:32

Whew!!! Made it by 1 stroke. Thank you tonyx!

By Flipy Fliperson on 17 Jun 2021 05:31

Thx

By Cuprofen on 28 Jun 2021 19:18

This guide is brilliant. So easy to follow and error proof. Did it first try with 3 under Par. Even had some stupid putting errors in it. Thank you.

By Sakrion on 21 Jul 2021 16:05

Finished 5 under using this, thanks!

By Meatware on 23 Feb 2022 10:24

Awesome guide, f*ck whoever designed that last level !

By LSF Overdrive on 09 Apr 2022 13:18

Strongly recommend using UntilTammaroYT's guide instead of this - many of the same shots, but explained MUCH better.

By thanatos8285 on 14 Jun 2022 18:00

Absolutely garbage course but at least this guide makes it bearable. Also used GhostZapper's guide for a few holes as he had a couple of nice hole in one shots that tonyx played it safe on. Still took me 5 tries but at least it's done.

By MH The Rockstar on 25 Jun 2022 21:23

Thanks! Got 9 strokes under par on my 3rd attempt. Almost got it done on the 2nd attempt even. Other videos weren't helping much.

By Maka91 on 17 Jan 2023 05:20

You might want to try using video guides from multiple people. I used UntilTammaro's guide for most holes just to take safe shots and make pars, and then used Ghostzapper's older guide for cheeky hole-in-ones on holes 6 and 15 and for the last platform of hole 18. Good luck, this is the hardest course in the game probably.

By Bieber Sheenis on 28 Apr 2023 18:29

Appreciate the video! Got it 2nd try thanks to you. That last hole really is sketchy, and I ended up finishing it with like four seconds left on my timer. Having a few extra strokes to give is extremely helpful for it

An amazing video guide has been made by Ghost Zapper over on YouTube.

(Hole time stamps behind spoiler)

A couple of things to note before jumping ahead and trying the holes. I attempted this a fair few times before actually getting it.
I'd suggest NOT following his Hole 12 and just doing the hole regularly.

Hole 13, same thing, don't follow the video, just play it normally and when you get to the pipe go for around 3.5 bars of power otherwise it will fling you out all sorts of ways.

Hole 18, just play normally again. The first time I tried this I got it spot on but the 2nd, 3rd & 4th attempt at this course I couldn't get anywhere near and time ran out. So I opted for the slow play and just played regularly.

Most shot will be pixel perfect so don't expect to be exactly where he is in the video, but you'll 99% of the time be around about. Take your time with the achievements and they will come.

vSully was nice enough to reiterate my point for me

Here’s the deal: this guy’s videos try to maximize scoring by minimizing shots with perfect shots. All you need to do is beat par. The really tricky shots – don’t even bother. Just play the hole normally and go for par. You’ll get plenty of birdies and eagles on the easier holes. Even with some bogeys or worse, you should be fine if you don’t take crazy chances going for ridiculous holes in one.

I used his guides on most of the par achievements. Man does good guides even if he goes for the minimum score. Hole 15 I know was one of the hardest shots for me due to the guides shot an the due to the ramp in the cube where the pole is.

I aimed a bit to the left towards the wall with the force field

(1 shot) 3-3.5 power

Tap/use rocket (don't use it all) to the wall with the force field that brings you to the top (had "15" left on rocket)

(2nd shot) Go 1ish power straight towards the middle of the opening

I then aimed near the area of the base for the ramp that leads the ball down to the pole

(3rd shot) 1 Power near the base area of the ramp

Once the ball falls off the cliff carefully tap/use the boost to the base area of the ramp an the ball will roll to the pole.

This was one of the ones I had the most problems with on making it on par/under par due to the ramp at the end. This level took me about 3-ish hours to complete on par/under par. Hardest map for me in the whole game

By tjw CENA2000 on 29 Oct 2020 13:08

Just wanted to reiterate this solution. This level was not fun. Most of the shots, from holes 13 onwards are pixel perfect so experiment a bit but generally just play the course as intended. Hole 18 I was fortunate to be 12 under par by then so I forfeited the hole.

The other two maps weren’t too bad overall other than perhaps one or two tricky holes.

I’m sorry everybody has downloaded you. I gave you a thumbs up. I used this vid and it worked just fine for me. Here’s the deal: this guy’s videos try to maximize scoring by minimizing shots with perfect shots. All you need to do is beat par. The really tricky shots – don’t even bother. Just play the hole normally and go for par. You’ll get plenty of birdies and eagles on the easier holes.

By vSully on 29 Oct 2020 10:36

Thanks vSully. I did try and get this point across. Maybe I didn't explain it very well. I've quoted you in the solution, so thanks for this

By oO CRAIGE Oo on 29 Oct 2020 11:45

Didn't find this one good, think we need a smidge more of Dwagginite and FTR we are in explorer mode

By DrDolem on 29 Oct 2020 15:50

Hoping Dwaggienite makes a par for this one, got -10 or better on The Deep and Escapists on my first attempts! Tried this twice and wasn't close.

By NoHeroes94 on 01 Nov 2020 17:42

Jeez guys. This video is more then sufficient to get the achievement. About half of the holes are easy birdy/eagle (some better) with this guide. For the holes with precise/tricky shots, just play the holes for par and don't take crazy chances.

Or *GHASP* go into practice mode for a little while and work out the kinks.

By vSully on 01 Nov 2020 18:03

@vSully - Not sure the tone is necessary. All people (including myself) are saying is that Dwaggienite's videos are exceptional and tailor made for TA people looking to get this done, whereas Ghostzapper's videos - whilst impressive - help less because they don't fulfil that purpose and help with "about half the holes".

This is not an indictment on the solution creator at all. I have actually upvoted this because they have then filled in the gaps with some other holes where the video won't work. I get the impression this wasn't always the case, possibly explaining some downvotes. And yes, I'm aware of practise mode, but appreciate the reminder. Was just giving my personal experience. Will personally keep going.

By NoHeroes94 on 02 Nov 2020 08:09

Now now guys, let's keep it civil. @NoHeroes94 I had written about the holes that were hard before publishing it, so I don't know why so many downvotes but with that being said I understand it

By oO CRAIGE Oo on 02 Nov 2020 10:32

I believe my comment was fair and not unreasonable. I also agree @oO CRAIGE Oo, mentioned this in my comment that it seems unfair. Unfortunately this happens frequently on TA where people reactively downvote anything they can't do.

By NoHeroes94 on 02 Nov 2020 10:34

My tone isn’t necessary. Give me a break?

This solution has a ton of downvotes from people who couldn’t be bothered to put in a little bit of effort to get an achievement. I’ll never understand the sentiment. “Give me my freebie achievements.” How about you put in the time and earn an achievement every now and then?

Take the game in the practice mode and spend half an hour or an hour there. Follow this video and practice the holes; work out strategies by just following the basic paths of the holes when his shots are too tricky and you can get this achievement without needing to rely on some other dude to hold your hand through it.

It’s not this solution poster’s fault that somebody hasn’t created what you consider to be a better solution. What he has provided is ample.

By vSully on 02 Nov 2020 15:11

I think this video would be ample for the completing the course achievement for sure.

Not so much for getting par
