<P> The film 's climactic scenes take place at a fictional U.S. Open tournament set in North Carolina . Some of the film was shot in Kingwood , Texas , and some was shot at Tubac GC in Tubac , Arizona . The movie 's 18th hole is actually the 4th hole on Kingwood 's Deerwood course ; the lake that guards the front of the green on this beautiful and difficult par - 5 , actually a par 4 in real life , was built for the movie by the film company . </P>
