Normal Golf Game is not really about playing golf the normal way. You can hit the ball from strange places, use the terrain to your advantage, and take shots that would make no sense on an actual golf course.
That is exactly what you need to do for the To the Moon achievement. You need to send the ball at least 200 meters, and getting that kind of distance takes more than just standing on the fairway and hitting the Driver.
There is a spot near Hole 5 where you can use the rocks and the slope to launch the ball much farther. Here’s where to go and how to set up the shot.
Where to Go for To the Moon
Go to Hole 5 and head up the mountain on the right side.
You should find the area with the eight ball scratch bounty. Get up around this spot and look for a position where you can see the rocks in front of you.
See the exact spot in the image below.
Your starting position is very important for the shot. You want to be far enough up the mountain to get a good launch, but you also need the right angle to clear the rocks.
How to Get 200 Meters
Once you’re in position, aim over the top of the rocks.
Then move your stance all the way to the right and equip the Driver. From there, adjust the angle a little and take the shot.
You don’t have to hit at full power every time. The right angle matters more because the ball needs to clear the rocks and keep travelling.
A good shot can go past 200 meters, with the method reaching around 226 meters. It may take a few attempts to get the angle right, though.
The 125-Meter Bounty Is Not Enough
There is a small trap here if you’re following the eight ball scratch bounty.
That bounty only requires 125 meters. The To the Moon achievement needs 200 meters, so completing the bounty does not mean you’ve done enough for the achievement.
One player also mentioned using the roof of the shed as a launch point. That can work for getting some extra distance, but their shot only reached around 160 meters.
Another player suggested turning until you can see the shed and hitting the ball off its roof with a full-power Driver. It’s worth trying, but if you’re stuck below 200 meters, the mountain position near Hole 5 is the better setup to keep trying.
Keep Adjusting the Shot
Don’t worry if your first few shots don’t reach 200 meters.
The angle can be a little tricky, and the original method reached 200+ meters only a few times out of several attempts. Once you find the angle that sends the ball cleanly over the rocks, you can get enough distance for To the Moon.
You only need to break the 200-meter mark once to get this achievement.
