How to unlock the Bunker Beater achievement in Kinect Sports Season Two - Definitive Guide

I did this on Whistling Bluff (Maple Lakes DLC Pack, PRO difficulty). With the driver, drive the ball into the bunker on the right side of the large rock, then aim back OVER the small boulder to your left with the sand wedge where the bank will roll the ball right to the hole.

Hilarious Juicyjams. This is a great solution if you're also going for the DLC achievement here. I hit the mountainside like Juicyjams did and it went in the bunker. Nailed this shot from there.

It should also be noted that PRO difficulty is required so the hole is in the correct position for the ball to roll into from the slope.

Great solution. Very easy.

Excellent solution. I lost count of the number of times that I tried to get this achievement with the Sandbank Isle.

I wish I would have a video of this aweful shot I made. I fell short so tapped it into the bunker. It went high in the sand so I did a babie tap to get it out , it hit the boulder, popped up and hit the side of the mountain landed on the hill and rolled in for the achievement. I couldn't stop laughing it was a disaster.

The way I did this was in the SANDBACK ISLE. So basically start a golf game, choose single player with rookie opponents and SANDBACK ISLE. From the start aim directly toward the sand on the left of the hole and get it in, should not be too hard. If you happen not to get it directly in the bunker, restart. Once its in the bunker, aim directly for the hole, take a couple of practice shots. Should be Medium strength shots. Once ready, shoot the ball in the hole straight from the bunker. Will take a couple of tries, but I found this to be the best place to get this achievement. Best of luck!

Just got lucky with this on Condor Creek, hit the fairway shot straight and just into the rough, it rolled down from there into the bunker. Next shot pitched towards the bank at the back right side of the green which it rolled down from and in for an albatross and the bunker beater achievement!! Woot!

Similar to Marklynx's guide, but instead of doing it against a rookie, do it against a pro, this will move the pin position to the back centre of the green.

On the tee shot, use the 6 iron provided, and hit at full strength, the ball will land in the bunker at the back of the green, since you are playing on professional, you may need to adjust for windspeed and direction.

When in the bunker, make sure to take practice shots, aim for a consistent swing that shows the ball landing a few feet infront of the hole.

I found this easier as it means the chip shot was usually less than 10 yards, rather than closer to 20 with the front green position on rookie

Both guides are very good. On Sandback Island I was always less than 1 yard away. I finally did it on Shoreside Crossing. My first hit was with a 9 iron to the sand bunker closest to the hole. When hitting the ball from the bunker aim little short (as the ball tends to bonce one or twice of the green) and above the hole (there is a little slope, so the ball will actually role down towards the hole). Did it on my 2 try:)
Good luck:)

Like “Tee and In”, go to Challenge Play, Hole 2 (the first Par 3) and aim almost identically to where you did for a Hole-In-One, but just off to the side slightly. The ball should hit the green and roll past into the sand. From here, with calm winds, aim nearly on top of the hole. You may need to practice this several times to get it right. Better to hit the pin than not have it make it there. This may take a few tries, but the pin placement in relation to the back bunker should prove ideal on this hole.
