The Tin Cup golf course was built in the early 1990s by architect Jay Morrish. It is located near Scottsdale, Arizona and has been used for a number of film projects as well as being named USA Today’s “Best Golf Course in America”.
But in case you need a condensed version, here are seven factoids that every Tin Cup fan should know. Enjoy. 1. Chip Beck at the 1993 Masters was the inspiration for the movie. During the final round of the 1993 Masters, Beck trailed Bernhard Langer by three with four holes to play, yet he laid up on the par-5 15th at Augusta National.
Some of the film was filmed in Kingwood, Texas, while others were shot at Tubac, Arizona’s Tubac GC. Apart from the aforementioned, who is Tin Cup based on?
The par-5 18th hole of the US Open, which is featured in the movie’s iconic climactic sequence, is really Deerwood’s par-4 fourth hole. So, where did the movie Tin Cup take place?
Scenes for “Tin Cup” were shot on the Forest Course and Deerwood, as well as at the Kingwood clubhouse for the bar scene, where Costner won a bet by knocking a pelican off its roost. The famous final scene of the movie — the par-5 18th hole in the U.S. Open — is actually Deerwood's par-4 fourth hole.
Furry Creek Golf and Country Club, located along the Sea to Sky Highway, offers by far the most beautiful views and is home to maybe one of the most iconic scenes in sports movie history. That's right- this is the exact course where Happy Gilmore and Bob Barker got into a fistfight.
Yes, the famous par 5 that is used as the 72nd hole of the U.S. Open during "Tin Cup" still exists, and it's almost unchanged from what it looked like when McAvoy played it back then.
So, there was a golf course among all the Happy Gilmore shooting locations. The golf course of Swan-e-Set Bay Resort and Country Club served as the golf course where Gilmore played all of the games. It is a well-known golf course with 36 holes that is designed by Lee Trevino.
Grande OaksThe History of Grande Oaks Through the years, Rolling Hills Country Club played host to a number of notable people, including Jackie Gleason, George C. Scott, Johnny Unitas, and Joe "Willie" Namath. Between 1979 and 1980, the film Caddyshack was filmed here, bringing its own cast of notables.
Meadows Golf CentreAll of the golf action was filmed in and around Pitt Meadows. Specifically, three courses and a driving range are featured in the movie. Gilmore gets his start golfing at Meadows Golf Centre, named Waterbury in the movie.
Kingwood's Deerwood courseThe fictional U.S. Open in the film is supposedly North Carolina but was shot at Kingwood's Deerwood course. Tubac – population 1,375 – is about 30 minutes north of the Mexico border and about 90 minutes west of Tombstone, famous for the shootout at the O.K. Corral.
When filming at the Tubac Golf Resort in the Arizona desert, the script called for a water hazard. Since there were none on the course the filmmakers built one and named it "Tin Cup Lake".
RankinThe actual location of Salome, TX appears to be the town of Rankin, TX, which is located south of Midland, TX, and in between Fort Stockton, TX, and San Angelo, TX, based on the opening credits at the intersection of Texas 329 and North/South 67.

Shelton, who directed and co-wrote Tin Cup, talked to John Norville, who co-wrote the film with him, after he saw Beck’s lay up on 15. “When Chip Beck laid up, we immediately called each other and said, That’s the key to our guy: He won’t lay up!”. Shelton said. 2.
During the final round of the 1993 Masters, Beck trailed Bernhard Langer by three with four holes to play, yet he laid up on the par-5 15th at Augusta National. The conservative approach didn’t pay off (Langer won by four), but it gave Ron Shelton the idea he needed for his movie.
