Tough

This Davis Love III-designed par 4 transitions golfers from wooded tee and fairway areas back to the dramatic limestone outcrops that frame the green, creating a memorable risk-reward scenario. Named in honor of a famous American patriot like all holes at this course, the 12th demands both accuracy and course management as players navigate from forest to stone. The elevated green setting among the limestone formations provides a striking visual backdrop that epitomizes the rugged natural beauty woven throughout this Oklahoma layout.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

Target the center-left portion of the fairway on your tee shot, as the fairway narrows from 53 yards wide at the 200-yard mark to just 48 yards wide at 250 yards. This positioning will give you the best angle into the green while avoiding the right-side hazards that line this dogleg right.

approach

Plan for a mid to long iron approach shot into this 424-yard par 4. The green measures 32 yards deep by 22 yards wide (3,987 sq ft), providing a reasonable target size, but accuracy is crucial given the limestone outcrops surrounding the putting surface.

hazard warning

Be aware of the greenside bunkers positioned at 421.7 and 410 yards from the tee. These hazards guard the approach to the green and require precise distance control on your second shot to avoid finding the sand.

green

The green's compact dimensions of 22 yards wide make lateral accuracy critical on your approach shot. Focus on hitting to the center of the green rather than attacking pins, especially when they're positioned near the edges of this relatively narrow putting surface.

tee shot

Consider laying up to the 200-yard mark where the fairway is at its widest (53 yards) if you're struggling with accuracy off the tee. This conservative strategy leaves you with a longer approach but keeps you in play on this tight, uphill dogleg right.
