You’ve seen the logos and watched the trailers (probably more than just a few times), but getting to know the characteristics of each 2012 course is a much different story.

Although you won’t fully grasp the sites and feel of these Jim Z gems until you get your hands on them for yourself, the Golden Tee Blog is here to help make the time between now and launch fly by.

Much like we posted last year, our “Hands On” series is back in full force. We begin with the Oklahoma delicacy that is Dusty Bend situated on the infamous Route 66.

Dusty dirt, tricky greens and interesting obstacles surround this unique creation. Oh, and trust us when we say you’ll want to load up on Golden Tees.

Check it out on the Hands on With Dusty Bend on the GTB and stay tuned for the remaining four courses!
