How to unlock the Hop, Skip and Jump achievement in Powerstar Golf - Definitive Guide

I did this on hole #13 of the City Park course. There is a long stretch of water off the tee box with fairway on the other side. The quickest way to get to this hole would be to play the City Park par 5 course from free play.

Refer to video below:

I tried the skip shot off the tee box but failed and landed in water, which dropped my ball in the rough just short of the water. I had an unpredictable lie from this spot so had to guess a bit where to aim.

I used my 1 wood with top spin to get the lowest trajectory possible. If you hit it in the water, you will drop in the same spot, so you have several tries at it until you reach +10 and are forced to give up. Because of this, it is better to miss short and land in water so that you can drop and try again. Eventually I guessed my distance right which was by aiming a few yards onto the land on other side of water.

If you are having troubles, there is a 75% water skip perk that you can get that will make it a bit easier.

Thumbs up from me. I was trying on this course this morning but failed, even with a water skip +75% chance perk. Now I know what I'm doing wrong laugh

Nice. This is exactly what I did. Hit is straight into water on the first shot and then did what you said. Top spin - driver. I aimed for about 10 feet over the water and let it rip. Perfect.

This is a great solution, but it's best to wait until you get a 75% water skip perk on a caddy because it does take about 5-10 minutes to reach this hole. You want to make sure you have as high a chance as possible or you'll just waste a whole bunch of time if you fail. To get this on your own caddy, buy 15,000 credit packs every time you can. The purple items are the top tier for caddy perks.

Two things:

1) The first time I went too far but was able to hit the ball back to the other side of the water easily to try again.

2) I landed on the semi rough when my achievement popped so there is a bit of leeway in the 'chieve.

With this guy's advice, got it first try with perk. Damn ball just wouldn't bounce twice predictably without it the previous 20x I tried. Highly recommend getting that perk!

did it 1st try great guide. I used reiko with all her custom gear and took kirby with shot prediction and used it to see my shot. Made sure it hit the water twice and boom achievement.

Does anyone know if this achievement is buggy? I've bounced the ball on the water twice and had it come to rest on the fairway with almost every character and it's not popping. Am I somehow doing this wrong?

Apparently I got the achievement a few days ago. Either I wasn't paying attention when it popped or my system never told me. Oh well. Just glad I finally have it.

Here's a fast and easy method:
Select Master Laoshi
You can use my caddie: Manu BAD IT or your caddie with ability 75% jump in the water.
go in to Free Play - City Park - PAR 5
You have to get to the hole #13 - throw the first shot it in the water
Then use wood 1 for second shot and place the flag as shown in the video.
Use the skill of the caddy and the master ability of Laoshi.
Nothing is impossible, happy hunting.
