Highlands Tournament (August 3rd, 2020)
The next tournament we’re facing is the Highlands Tournament in Golf Clash and it features holes from Greenoch Point exclusively. Please mind that the holes 3, 5, 8 and 9 are updated and played differently as you used to play them 🙂
Without wasting any more time, let’s jump right into the text guides for the Highlands Tournament.

Greenoch Point Hole #1 (Par 3)

| 🏐 Ball | Marlin (Rookie), Katana (Pro/Expert) | |
| 🏑 Club(s) | Viper (Rookie), Quarterback (Pro/Expert) | Sniper 6+ (Rookie/Pro/Expert) |
This is a really easy Par 3 that we’re starting the Highlands Tournament here with and if you have a wood club with a good ball guideline, you have great chances to actually kick it off with a hole-in-one here.
Aim straight for the pin with some backspin (see the table) with the second bounce on the green and adjust a little extra for playing downhill and you’ll be fine.

Greenoch Point Hole #2 (Par 4)
| Drive | 2nd Shot | |
|---|---|---|
| ↩️ Spin | 4 Top; Max Right | – |
| ⛳️ Overadjust | 15% | 15% |
| 🏐 Ball | Quasar (Rookie), Katana (Pro/Expert | |
| 🏑 Club(s) | Extra Mile (Rookie/Pro/Expert) | Thorn (Rookie/Pro/Expert), Hornet (Rookie/Pro/Expert) |
I’m not a huge fan to use the aggressive line here powering all through the green with the drive, because it’s risky and you don’t need to do that right here in the second hole of the Highlands Tournament.
Rather go for the rough bounce on the fairway island and you’re in a good position to have a decent chance to still go for the eagle here with a good amount of topspin and sidespin to the right.

For the second shot use a short iron with a good ball guideline and bounce on the fairway with the second bounce on the green.
There’s no need to add any additional spin when you play it like that but make sure to adjust the wind right, you still need to adjust some extra here, even though you play in medium distance.
Greenoch Point Hole #3 (Par 5)
| Drive | 2nd Shot | |
|---|---|---|
| ↩️ Spin | Max Top; Max Left; Max Overpower; Max Curl Left | 1 Back |
| ⛳️ Overadjust | 10% | 20% |
| 🏐 Ball | Titan (Rookie/Pro/Expert), Kingmaker (Rookie/Pro/Expert) | |
| 🏑 Club(s) | Extra Mile (Rookie/Pro/Expert) | , Big Dawg (Rookie)Sniper 6+ (Rookie/Pro/Expert), Cataclysm (Pro/Expert) |
This hole got updated for the tournament and is played now a little differently, this means for us that we need to push the drive really hard here to get a distance that makes sense.
Use all the topspin, almost full overpower and half a ball of curl to the left as well to get the ball down that fairway strip as much as possible to get into a good distance that makes it possible to reach the green in your second shot.

Now here’s the updated part about this hole – there’s a new fairway spot that replaces the rough and you can use a wood club with a solid distance to bounce there and get on the green and even approach the pin with a good ball guideline.
Use a little backspin and mind that you need to adjust some extra for the wind as well and you can get an albatross here.
Greenoch Point Hole #4 (Par 4)
| Drive | 2nd Shot | |
|---|---|---|
| ↩️ Spin | 3-4 Top + some overpower | 2-3 Back, Max Right |
| ⛳️ Overadjust | 10% | 10% |
| 🏐 Ball | Katana (Rookie/Pro/Expert) Titan (Rookie/Pro/Expert) | |
| 🏑 Club(s) | Extra Mile (Rookie/Pro/Expert) | Backbone (Rookie), Saturn (Rookie), Goliath (Pro/Expert), Thorn (Pro/Expert) |
Go with the drive to the left side is the best option as it doesn’t require you to use either an expensive ball and you will also get into a better position for your second shot.
You’re going to bounce over the rough line here and add some topspin to get to the end of that fairway spot. The only thing you will need to do here is to add some overpower as well (10% overpower for Rookie, 25% for Pro/Expert).
[adinserter block=”5″]
In your second shot you can not approach the pin directly by bouncing once on the fairway in front of the green and make sure to use enough backspin as the green will slope down towards the pin. You just don’t want to come in too hot here.
Use a long iron that has enough backspin and no extra wind adjustment here.
Greenoch Point Hole #5 (Par 3)
| Drive | ||
|---|---|---|
| ↩️ Spin | 2 Back; Max Right | |
| ⛳️ Overadjust | 20% | |
| 🏐 Ball | Katana (Rookie/Pro/Expert), Quasar (Rookie), Kingmaker (Pro/Expert) | |
| 🏑 Club(s) | Viper (Rookie), Quarterback (Pro/Expert) | Sniper 6+ (Rookie/Pro/Expert) |
Hole #5 also got updated for the Highlands Tournament and is now a little different than it used to be. To be honest here, getting a hole-in-one here is extremely lucky as you will slope around the corner and then down towards the pin.
Still, using the correct wind adjustment plus position can get you close to the pin and make sure you will get that birdie. Still a difficult hole.

Greenoch Point Hole #6 (Par 5)
| Drive | 2nd Shot | |
|---|---|---|
| ↩️ Spin | 2 Top; 2 Right; 50 Curl Right | Max Right; Max Curl Right |
| ⛳️ Overadjust | 20% | 0% |
| 🏐 Ball | Titan (Rookie/Pro/Expert), Kingmaker (Rookie/Pro/Expert) | |
| 🏑 Club(s) | Extra Mile (Rookie), Quarterback (Pro/Expert) | Big Dawg (Rookie), Sniper 6+ (Rookie/Pro/Expert), Cataclysm (Pro/Expert) |
I also recommend you to go on the left side here, although the right side looks tempting. You need to cut that corner and use half a ball of curl here as well, combined with some topspin and sidespin to the right.
Nothing fancy, simply do your wind adjustment with a little extra and stay away from that rough and you will have a decent Par 5 here in the Highlands Tournament.

The second shot is the make-or-break shot here and you can make it on the green or close to it when you play it right, but you need to get around that trees.
Play with maximum distance of your wood club between the bunker and the trees and use all the curl to the right you have and you will get the ball on the green and into a good spot for the eagle. The albatross here is nearly impossible, so rather play it save than sorry!
Greenoch Point Hole #7 (Par 3)
| Drive | ||
|---|---|---|
| ↩️ Spin | 1 Top; 1 Right | |
| ⛳️ Overadjust | 20% | |
| 🏐 Ball | Marlin (Rookie), Quasar (Rookie), Katana (Pro/Expert), KIngmaker (Pro/Expert) | |
| 🏑 Club(s) | Extra Mile (Rookie/Pro/Expert), Quarterback (Rookie/Pro/Expert) | |
This is a really weird Par 3 in the Highlands Tournament, especially because of the distance and also the way to play it (yes, you need a driver here).
The hole-in-one is actually impossible here, period. You need to slice around the slope to get on the green and this will get you somewhere near the pin to get your birdie, but that’s it. Use a little topspin and sidespin to the right and adjust the wind very carefully here, every inch can change the direction of your ball significantly.

Greenoch Point Hole #8 (Par 4)
| Drive | ||
|---|---|---|
| ↩️ Spin | 3 Top; Max Left | |
| ⛳️ Overadjust | 30% | |
| 🏐 Ball | Quasar (Rookie), Katana (Rookie/Pro/Expert), Kingmaker (Pro/Expert) | |
| 🏑 Club(s) | Extra Mile (Rookie), Thor’s Hammer (Rookie) | Big Topper (Pro/Expert), Apocalypse (Pro/Expert) |
This is also an updated hole for the Highlands Tournament that is now longer and has a bunker where we normally could do a double-bounce. Anyway, you can still reach the green in your drive and that’s what you should do.
You need a decent topspin and also sidespin but no overpower here. The important thing here is that you adjust the wind correctly and it’s a massive 30% wind adjustment but you will get a clean eagle in reward.

Greenoch Point Hole #9 (Par 5)
| Drive | 2nd Shot | |
|---|---|---|
| ↩️ Spin | Max Top; Max Right; Half Ball Curl Right | 2 Right; 1 Top |
| ⛳️ Overadjust | 20% | 0% |
| 🏐 Ball | Titan (Rookie/Pro/Expert), Kingmaker (Rookie/Pro/Expert) | |
| 🏑 Club(s) | Extra Mile (Rookie/Pro/Expert) | Big Dawg (Rookie), Sniper 6+ (Rookie/Pro/Expert) |
This hole also got re-designed for the Highlands Tournament but the way you play this hole didn’t change.
You need to drive through the “shortcut” on the left side with maximum topspin and maximum sidespin and half a ball of curl to the right as well to make sure to get the second bounce on the fairway and gain additional distance.
[adinserter block=”10″]
In your second shot, you need to reach the green and an upgraded Sniper is working wonders here. You will do a double-bounce in front of the green.
If you’re short here because of the ball you’re using, use some overpower as well to get enough distance – you really don#t want to get into the bunker, this will mess up your eagle chance completely.
