Fair Oaks / Golf / Blackjack / Hole 1

Par 5

Pro’s Tip:
The opening hole is a double dogleg par 5 that requires accuracy on all shots. A well-placed drive will leave players a decision; either get aggressive and try to cut the corner and get home in two or take a fairway wood down the right to set up a wedge into the green.

Par 5

Pro’s Tip:
The final par 5 on the course is also the toughest on the property. Tee shots should be placed between the fairway bunkers on the left and out-of-bounds right. The second is a delicate lay-up to a narrow lading area that’s surrounded by bunkers, rough, out-of-bounds, and a penalty area. From there, players will face an approach of about 100 yards to a flat green that’s guarded by two bunkers.

Par 3

Pro’s Tip:
The third is the longest par 3 at Fair Oaks and features one of the largest greens on the course. Two large bunkers protect the putting surface and a slope down the middle adds to the difficulty.

Par 4

Pro’s Tip:
The fourth hole is a scenic par 4 where a tee shot down the left will leave about 150 yards in to a narrow green. Players ought to be careful not to hit their drive too far, though, sine the pond on the right comes into play around 100 yards from the green.

Par 4

Pro’s Tip:
The ideal tee shot on the par 4 fifth is to the right of the fairway bunkers that guard the left side. Approach shots from the top of the hill will have to be accurate as this green is the smallest on the course.

Par 5

Pro’s Tip:
An accurate tee shot down the left side, avoiding the two fairway bunkers, is required on this par 5. On the second shot, players can either lay-up short of the creek about 100 yards from the green or try to attack the elevated green with a fairway wood. A penalty area left and three greenside bunkers will easily punish anything offline.
