How to unlock the Now you're golfing with Portals achievement

    This achievement can be unlocked in the "Night Club Challenge" mode on the first available course, Wolf Creek.

    You need to progress through the challenge mode, getting at least 1 star in each challenge to unlock the next. The first challenge with portals in it is the "Portals!" challenge, which can be found on the 5th hole, and is the 21st challenge overall. The objective of the challenge is to sink the ball in as few shots as possible. The portals form a shortcut to the green.

    The way I got this was to aim at the right-hand portal, which should be about 260 yards away over a bunker. Your target is 100 feet lower than the tee, and there is a 10MPH wind, so be sure to account for that in your aim, or use the Arcade game type, as it will allow you to zoom in on your target and give you Focus Aim.

    Switch your club down from a driver to a 3 Hybrid to account for the elevation. Depending on your golfer's stats, you may need to tap the A button a couple of times on the back-swing to add a touch of power in order to reach the target.

    Once the ball flies into the portal, some crazy things will happen, your ball will appear on the green, and the achievement will pop. It may take a couple of attempts to get the line and range right, but it shouldn't pose any significant challenge.

    TTDog66619 is the stupid glider one... using Nitro and Height boosts to go through the hanging hoops... need minimum 1500 points for one star.

    Obi TW0Ah, yeah. Have you used the Remote Control as well to steer the ball? You can use the Remote Control to turn while in the air. I activated the Remote Control just before going through the first ring, then I used my nitro just before going through each ring, and saved the boosts until the ball was starting to fall.

    It's tricky to begin with, but once you get the hang of it it's not that bad at all.

    TTDog666Cheers for that... managed 1300 on ball one... was starting to think of just playing through the short career mode and then selling it on.
