This year’s Design-a-Hole winner, Bear Valley, is no longer a design. It is a living, breathing creation in Golden Tee 2015.

Granted, this is all still a work in progress. As I sat down to write this, Golden Tee course designer Jim Zielinski discussed some of the changes he plans on making to this hole. (Spoiler Alert: It involves trees, and you’ll likely see more of them, not less.)

But as a whole, Tony Snow’s drivable par-4 is nearing completion. The obstacle near the tee box is in place, the water has been given a sparkle and the green—which is perhaps the largest you’ll see in Golden Tee 2015—is one-of-a-kind.

In summary, this is a gorgeous golf hole that will be even better by the time Golden Tee 2015 comes around. We’re not waiting until then to give you a taste of what’s to come, though.

Here is an early look at Bear Valley in Golden Tee 2015.
