Hole 6 at Oakridge Country Club
Par 5 • 521 Yards • Farmington, Utah
Oakridge Country Club hole 6 presents a classic risk-reward par 5 that demands both power and precision across its 521.0 yards. This straight-away layout features a generous fairway that invites aggressive tee shots, but the real challenge emerges as players navigate toward the small, well-protected green complex. The absence of major hazards might seem forgiving, but the compact putting surface requires pinpoint accuracy on approach shots, especially when attempting to reach in two. Length control becomes paramount as balls can easily roll off the firm, elevated green. Smart players often lay up to their favorite wedge distance, while big hitters who find the fairway face a tantalizing opportunity to attack the flag for eagle chances.
