What You'll Learn
Fortnite's Lazy Links golf course
Lazy Links has nine golf tee locations, and players need to hit a golf ball on five of them to complete the challenge. The tees can be identified by the round balls and a number on a nearby sign, and the green, which is the target, has a red flag. The challenge is part of the Battle Pass Challenges in Season 5, and players need to reach level 27 and unlock the Golf Ball emote to complete it.
The golf course may be popular, but it is not without its challenges. With 125 million players, you might have to compete with many other players to complete the challenge. Additionally, fellow patrons might be unwelcoming or even hostile.
Lazy Links has also seen some changes over time, with Halloween decorations added for the Fortnitemares event and snow covering the course during the Ice Storm. It was eventually replaced by Lazy Lagoon, with a small golf house east of it serving as an easter egg reference to Lazy Links.

How to find a golf tee
To find a golf tee in Fortnite, you'll need to head to the Lazy Links golf course in the north of the map. There are nine golf tees in total, but you only need to find five of them to complete the challenge.
You'll know you're at a golf tee when you see a numbered sign and two yellow balls. Stand between the two yellow balls and look out towards the red flag in the distance, which marks the hole. The green, or the area around the hole, is where you'll need to hit the golf ball in one shot.
If you're having trouble finding the tee, try locating the red flag first and then look for the tee connected to it. The tees at Lazy Links are all in one place, so once you've found one, you've pretty much found them all.
To make things easier, you can select 50 versus 50 as your game mode, giving you more time to complete the challenge without having to worry about other players interrupting you.
Remember, you'll need to unlock the Golf Ball emote before you can start the challenge. Good luck and have fun!

Hitting the golf ball
Hitting a golf ball in Fortnite involves finding the golf tee locations dotted across the Fortnite map. There are nine golf tees in total, but you only need to hit a golf ball on five of them. You can find the tees at Lazy Links in the north of the map. To hit the ball, stand between the two yellow balls and hit it onto the green.
Now, for some tips on how to hit a golf ball in real life.
Stance
The position of your feet and legs as you prepare to hit the ball is called your stance. This will provide the foundation of your swing, so it's important to get it right. For a standard golf stance, your feet should be placed just wider than your shoulders, parallel to the target line. Your lead foot (the foot closest to the target) should be pointed slightly towards the target, allowing for increased hip rotation.
Grip
The way you grip the club is very important as it will affect the swing's path and the ball's flight.
Swing
The backswing is the part of the swing where you lift the club up before hitting the ball. The downswing is when you bring the club down to hit the ball. This should be faster than the backswing. Start the downswing by shifting your weight to your lead foot, then turn your hips towards the target, followed by your arms and shoulders. At the end of your swing, your hips should be facing the target, and the club should be swung up and over your lead shoulder.
Follow-through
After you've hit the ball, the follow-through is still important. Your body should be fully rotated towards the target, with your back foot on its toes. Your hands and club should be high above your lead shoulder.
Common mistakes
Some common mistakes to avoid include lifting your head too early, gripping the club too tightly, and over-swinging. Focus on a smooth, controlled swing rather than power.

Snobby Shores Treasure Map
Fortnite's Week 5 Challenges include the task of following the Treasure Map in Snobby Shores and hitting golf balls from tee to green on five different holes. This is one of the Battle Pass Challenges in Season 5 of Fortnite. To complete this challenge, you must reach level 27 and unlock the Golf Ball emote.
The Snobby Shores Treasure Map leads to a spot in Haunted Hills. The star should be on top of or around a small house by the main church, just north of the 'D' in 'Haunted'. The treasure map is dotted around the location, but you don't need to visit it first to collect the treasure.
To find the golf tees, head to Lazy Links in the north of the map, where there are nine Golf Tee to Green locations. You will know you are at a golf tee when you see a numbered sign and two yellow balls. Stand between the balls and hit the golf ball onto the green. The greens can be identified by a red flag.
The challenge requires you to find five out of nine golf tees, so grab an ATK golf cart and race around the course. West of Lazy Links, between two greens, is a tee, with the green to the south being the target. North of Lazy Links, west of the main building, is another tee, with the green off to the west.

How to unlock the Golf Ball emote
To unlock the Golf Ball emote in Fortnite, you must first reach level 27 and unlock the Battle Pass. This will allow you to unlock the Golf Ball emote. Once you have the emote, head over to Lazy Links, which is located in the north of the Fortnite map. Here, you will find nine golf tee locations, and you will need to hit a golf ball from tee to green on five different holes.

The challenge only requires five holes, but there are nine tee locations in total at Lazy Links. You can use an ATK golf cart to get around the course quickly and find the tees. The challenge is similar to the basketball challenge from an earlier season.
