Hole 9 at Oakridge Country Club
Par 4 • 442 Yards • Farmington, Utah
The #1 handicap hole at Oakridge Country Club demands respect from the first tee, presenting golfers with a demanding 442-yard par 4 that serves as the ultimate test before the turn. This straight, no-nonsense layout may appear deceptively simple without significant hazards, but its true challenge lies in precision and course management. The generous fairway invites an aggressive tee shot, yet the small green complex requires surgical accuracy on the approach. With length working against most golfers, even accomplished players must execute two quality shots to find the putting surface. The compact green punishes wayward approaches, making par a genuine accomplishment on this finishing hole that perfectly caps the front nine at this respected Farmington layout.

Target the center of the fairway with your tee shot as the landing area maintains a consistent 12-yard width at both the 200 and 250-yard marks, leaving little room for error on this demanding driving hole.
Plan your approach carefully to this compact green measuring just 28 yards by 25 yards - precision is more important than power as you'll need pinpoint accuracy to hold this small target.
Consider laying up short of the 200-yard mark with a controlled tee shot if you're struggling with accuracy, as the fairway remains narrow at 12 yards wide throughout the prime landing zones.
With only 3,886 square feet of green to work with, focus on hitting to the center of the green rather than attacking pins - this small putting surface offers little margin for error on approach shots.
Be aware of bunkers positioned well beyond the green at 461 yards - while not in play for most golfers on this 442-yard par 4, extremely long drives or mishit approaches could find these distant hazards.
