Oakridge Country Club Hole by Hole - 17th Hole

For low handicappers, the key to success on this hole is to take advantage of their long drives by aiming for the fairway bunkers and utilizing a shorter iron into the green. With a distance of 280+ yards off the tee, they can easily carry over the bunker and leave themselves with a manageable approach shot. However, it's important for them to be mindful of any potential crosswinds or altitude changes that may affect their ball flight.

Mid handicappers should focus on accuracy rather than distance on this hole. With an average drive of 230+ yards, they may struggle to reach the fairway bunkers but should aim for a spot just short of them in order to set up an ideal angle for their second shot. They should also take into account any wind or elevation changes when selecting their club.

High handicappers will likely struggle with this longer par 4 hole. With an average drive of only 200+ yards, they will need to carefully navigate around both sides of the dogleg in order to avoid trouble and set themselves up for a decent third shot onto the green. It's recommended that they use caution when choosing clubs due to potential elevation changes and strong winds which could drastically impact their ball flight.

Regardless of handicap level, all players should be aware that there is only one bunker present on this hole but its placement makes it challenging as it sits right at the corner where many balls tend to land after hitting through trees from errant shots off either side of this slight dogleg left par 4.
