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.
Keeping this in view, where was the golf course in tin cup?
Deerwood is one of five golf courses at Kingwood, Texas, north of Houston. In the movie, the U.S. Open is being played at Pine Hills in North Carolina. At Deerwood, the final golf scene takes place on the final hole or 72nd hole of the U.S. Open. This hole is really the fourth hole, 453 yards and a par 4.
Herein, is Tin Cup a true story?
Many of the golf shots by Roy McAvoy (Kevin Costner) were made by Costner himself. The scene at the end of the movie where Roy McAvoy hits the shot into the water hazard again and again was based on an actual event. Gary McCord is an actual commentator and pro on the Champions Tour.
