Oakmont Country Club Hole by Hole - 10th Hole

Hole 10 at Oakmont Country Club is a 462-yard par 4, with an average handicap of 12. It's a slight dogleg left that requires a precise tee shot to set up the approach shot. The fairway width averages 36 yards and there are 9 bunkers total, 2% of which are located greenside.

In the warmer summer months, golfers should be aware of higher temperatures and increased winds that can affect ball flight conditions. In colder winter months, you may find yourself hitting into more headwinds and dealing with more firm turf conditions off the tee as well as around the green.

For your tee shot on this hole, you’ll want to hit something long and straight – ideally between 220-240 yards for most players depending on their club selection (driver or 3 wood). Avoiding any bunkers in play will also be key here as they can make it difficult to get close to the pin from your approach shot.

From there you'll have 140-160 yards remaining for your second shot depending on how far down the fairway you manage to get off the tee. For most players this means selecting either a 7 iron or 8 iron for their approach into this slightly elevated green surrounded by two bunkers guarding both sides of its front edge making accuracy essential here if looking for birdie opportunities!
