How to unlock the Clean Sheet achievement

    I found both this and the Golf's Magic Number achievement very straightforward using the following settings.

    Course: St Andrews
    Hole Select: All Holes
    Tee Select: Red
    Pin Select: Monday
    Course Conditions: Average
    Wind Speed: 0 MPH
    Time Of Day: Noon

    The St Andrews course is very straightforward, with a lot of short par 4 holes reachable in one shot. The par 3 11th is probably the toughest, and even that is easy enough playing safe to the middle of the green. I hit my very first shot into the water and still went round in -21

    pAiNkIlLaH also recommends going for the Full Foursome achievement at the same time. Playing with four players has the added advantage of only requiring one bogey-free round, making this achievement even easier!

    Krazie x360a suggests that the Paracel Storm course is another good option, and is much easier to get the Golf's Magic Number achievement. It may be worth trying that first, and then switching to St. Andrews if you hit a bogey or two. St. Andrews is probably a more forgiving course if you just want the Clean Sheet achievement.

    bigbear XBAI'd say 17 is toughest at Andrews. If you leave it short on your 2nd or hit the flag you have to try to putt up a step hill from big range and sucks.

    RydensaurI just unlocked this using a Custom Gameplay setting. So I can confirm that using that does not affect the achievement unlocking.

    Can also confirm as of Dec 2022 that custom settings do not affect the achievement unlocking.

    Popped all three 18 hole achievements in one go 👍🏾

    Go to Play Now and then under course select choose Paracel Storm.

    Paracel Storm is by far the easiest course to get this achievement on, as it is a Par 3 course and the greens are pretty darn easy compared to other courses. Aim near the hole (if you are coming up short press cn_RT to extend your shot or cn_LT to shorten it, although this is rarely necessary if you play as Rory), and you should be able to get a good lie and at least putt it in 2 strokes. The hole you may have most difficulty with is, I believe, the 3rd hole where you are shooting over the deck of the Battleship and can't see the green. simply just shoot without adjusting your aim or power and you will get on the green and at worst you should be able to 2 putt it for par.

    The biggest tip I can give for this game is to pay attention the the blue line(arc) instead of the arrow, as that is where your ball is going to go if you hit it properly.

    I recommend going for the 'Full Foursome' achievement (play an 18 round of Stroke Play in Play Now with 4 golfers) whilst going for this, as it is the shortest course and also good practice! You can do this with one controller just by adding 3 additional players to play the course. (I didn't bogey with any of them)

    Inevitably by getting this achievement you will get the 'Golf's Magic Number' achievement (Shoot 59 or better in an 18 hole round of Stroke Play in Play Now)

    Hope this helps! Please comment or message with any tips to improve the guide.
