Randolph Oaks Golf Course
The golf : This Air Force course dates back to the 1950s.
Joe Finger took over the design duties from Ralph Plummer, who was supposedly
tired of dealing with the military red tape during construction. Their
collaboration resulted in a long, flat course that is known for its wide
fairways and small, elevated greens. Bunkers are in play, and a few water
hazards dot the design, but they are not prominent features.
You'll sense the length on the par 3s, since two are over 200 yards, and
the others play over 180. The par 5s are long as well, averaging 550 yards
in length. No. 5 is notable because the approach is surrounded by water,
and No. 12 is considered the toughest because of its long, 589-yard dogleg
that turns sharply off the tee.
