Hole MAP
Hole 1
Hole Name
From The Tee “The first hole on the Oaks Nine is a tricky dog-leg right.
From The Fairway Your tee shot is into a fairway that slopes sharply right to left.
On The Green Longer hitters will need to drive over a corner pine tree to avoid rolling into the left rough, while shorter hitters can avoid the pine tree but must be wary of a fairway bunker that captures any errant tee shot to the left. A good drive will leave a middle to short iron into a green guarded at the front right by one of the course’s deepest bunkers. Two good shots will leave you with a good oppor

Hole 2
Hole Name
From The Tee Golf architects will point to Oaks 2 as a wonderful example of “modern target golf”.
From The Fairway At 415 yards from the back tees, most good amateurs would think they will have a short iron into the green -think again. Because of the natural tree line that protects anyone from considering cutting off the dog-leg, it forces the player to angle their drive to the wide part of the fairway-leaving anywhere from 185-200 yards into the green.
On The Green The green complex is heavily bunkered, but does allow a player the opportunity to run the ball into the green from the right side.”

Hole 3
Hole Name
From The Tee “Oaks 3 is a downhill par 5. The longer hitters can easily reach the green in two, especially in the afternoon when the wind is generally at the golfer’s back
From The Fairway Aim your tee shot down the right side of the fairway to take advantage of the slope and avoid the hazard on the left. Pay attention to the flag position on your second shot. If the pin is right of center,
On The Green then you must be left to have a chance to get your third shot close. This hole is your best chance for birdie on this nine!”

Hole 4
Hole Name
From The Tee Oaks 4 is a beautifully framed downhill par 3
From The Fairway
On The Green where flying the ball to the green is key. The front slope here will not let any short approaches to chase onto the green. Be sure to choose enough club!

Hole 5
Hole Name
From The Tee “Beware of short par 4’s.
From The Fairway The perfect tee shot is right of center with the fairway running right to left and a significant Oak tree protecting the left fairway. Although a short hole,
On The Green the approach shot is critical into one of the most difficult greens at North Ranch. Slightly uphill and often into the prevailing breeze it is wise to take extra club. All depending on where the pin is located will depend on a routine 2 putt or maybe a 3 putt.”

Hole 6
Hole Name
From The Tee “This most challenging par five is a slight dogleg right from the tee then dogleg left into the green.
From The Fairway Your tee shot must be long enough to get by the narrowing fairway with a bunker on the left and trees with woodchips on the right. Your second shot must stay right as there are trees lining the left side of the fairway and a lateral hazard below the trees.
On The Green It requires three precise shots to get to the elevated green with several bunkers on both sides before the green and one behind the green.”

Hole 7
Hole Name
From The Tee This dogleg left par four hole will challenge golfers of all skill levels. A large oak tree located left/center in the fairway demands a well-placed tee shot.
From The Fairway
On The Green The approach shot to the green is not long but complicated by often changing wind conditions. This two-tiered green is well protected by another oak tree on the right side and bunkers to the left and rear. Club selection and distance control is key to scoring well on this hole.”

Hole 8
Hole Name
From The Tee “The par-3 eighth is characterized by its long but narrow two-tiered green that demands a very accurate middle iron. Anything to the right will hit an oak tree that guards the front right of the green, and a shot to the left rolls down a hill and a near certain bogey or worse.
From The Fairway
On The Green Anything on the correct tier of the green will leave a good birdie opportunity, but any putt up or down the tier is a challenging two-putt. NO-Body is unhappy with a par on number 8.”

Hole 9
Hole Name
From The Tee “The classic NRCC Par 4. This hole will test your tee game in regards to accuracy and length. It is the longest forced carry off any tee, predominantly into the wind, and to make matters more difficult- O-B both right and left. Simply put, it does not allow a player to bail out with a Driver in their hands.
From The Fairway
On The Green Once the tee shot has been successfully navigated, you have to make the decision to take on the green with a pond engulfing the whole right side of the green. Traditionally, this is the closing hole for any large match/championship- and the natural bluff above the green allows for hundreds of your fellow members to view the carnage.”
