Hole 10 at Oakmont Country Club

Par 4 • 393 Yards • Glendale, California

Enhanced Content

Challenging

Oakmont Country Club's 10th hole presents a deceptively straightforward par 4 that rewards precision over power. At 393 yards, this straight-away design challenges golfers to find the optimal balance between distance and accuracy off the tee. The generous fairway invites an aggressive tee shot, but the real test awaits on the approach to a compact, well-defended green complex.

What makes this hole particularly engaging is how the small green demands surgical precision with the approach shot, turning what appears to be a scoring opportunity into a true test of iron play. The putting surface's intimate dimensions place a premium on distance control and pin-seeking accuracy. Players who can dial in their yardages and commit to their club selection will find birdie opportunities, while those who get careless often face challenging up-and-downs that can quickly turn pars into bogeys.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

Target a conservative 200-yard tee shot to the widest part of the fairway, which measures 28 yards wide at this distance, giving you ample room for error while setting up your approach.

hazard warning

Avoid aggressive driving beyond 250 yards as the fairway dramatically narrows to just 19 yards wide, and three bunkers cluster between 311-332 yards, creating a severe penalty zone.

approach

From a 200-yard tee shot, you'll have a manageable 193-yard approach to a compact green measuring only 3,176 square feet - precision is more important than power on this second shot.

green

The green's rectangular dimensions of 22 by 24 yards create specific target zones - aim for the center as this small putting surface leaves little margin for error on approach shots.

tee shot

This 393-yard par 4 rewards course management over distance - a well-positioned drive in the fairway's wide section sets up a straightforward mid-iron approach rather than risking the trouble ahead.
