Challenging

The closing stretch at Oakridge Country Club begins with this strategic par 5 that demands both power and precision across its 551 yards.

The generous fairway invites aggressive tee shots, yet positioning becomes crucial for the approach into the small, well-protected green complex.

What makes Oakridge Country Club hole 16 memorable is how it tests course management skills, offering risk-reward opportunities while punishing overly aggressive play with its unforgiving green size.
