There's no 100% guaranteed method to getting this achievement. My recommendation would be NOT focusing on this achievement, but instead, to do this simultaneously with the Golden Ferret achievement:

As you will find in the Golden Ferret solution, the recommended course is Little Brook Manor. The holes on this official course are some of the easiest ones in the game and the bunkers are numerous. Aside from a par 3 surrounded by water on hole 15, you can keep intentionally missing the cup giving yourself the maximum number of tries before the stroke limit is reached (+7 from par: max 10 strokes on par 3 hole, 11 on par 4, 12 on par 5). Get the ball in the bunker as close to the hole as possible. Attempt to hole it from said bunker. If you miss, you can either turn 180° (if shot was short from bunker) or flop/pitch the ball over the hole (if you overshot the hole). If the hole has 2 bunkers, one on either side, you can hit it to the next bunker instead of turning around because it takes forever to turn in this game
This among many other achievements in this game is going to require trial and error with many repetitions. I had failed numerous times while reaching the stroke limits until I got to hole 17 and was able to hole it from the bunker on the 10th stroke getting me both this and the Golden Ferret achievements. My score at this point was 166 (+101) to give you an idea of how many shots it could take.
Good luck and happy golfing!

The second course on Little Brook Manor will allow you to get this if you put your ball into the bunker (the sand) on purpose. DO NOT go for this achievement during your FIR or GIR or other skill related achievement playthroughs. Hit the ball into the sand and from there, hit it directly into the hole. If you aim slightly high enough, or hit the ball a bit harder than perfect... the ball will also hit the pin (the flag, the stick) sticking out of the hole, which gets you "Pinned". There are also custom courses made for hitting the pin, if you are not finding it easy enough.
