Oakridge Country Club

The golf : The Oakridge CC is a short target course that plays only 6,516 from the tips (par 71) and a very hacker-friendly 6,089 yards from the white tees. Pesky Duck Creek winds through the course and comes into play on 13 holes. Water is the predominant hazard, with three other holes with ponds, and the greens can be testy because they are small, smooth, and fast.

No. 15 is the signature–a 354-yard par 4 with significant mounding and Duck Creek on the left. The approach is fun because the small green is nestled into a grove of oak trees.
