HOLE-BY-HOLE INFO

1st Hole

Par 5 · 560

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.

Tee 1: 560

Tee 2: 530

Tee 3: 530

Tee 4: 530

Tee 5: 480

Tee 6: 423

2nd Hole

Par 4 · 368

Pro’s Tip:
This short par 4 features a tree that divides the fairway from the tee. On the second shot, players will face a delicate approach shot into a green that’s guarded by two bunkers and thick rough.

Tee 1: 368

Tee 2: 368

Tee 3: 356

Tee 4: 328

Tee 5: 328

Tee 6: 283

3rd Hole

Par 3 · 221

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.

Tee 1: 221

Tee 2: 200

Tee 3: 200

Tee 4: 171

Tee 5: 171

Tee 6: 123

4th Hole

Par 4 · 407

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.

Tee 1: 407

Tee 2: 407

Tee 3: 390

Tee 4: 390

Tee 5: 343

Tee 6: 319

5th Hole

Par 4 · 418

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.

Tee 1: 418

Tee 2: 418

Tee 3: 399

Tee 4: 363

Tee 5: 363

Tee 6: 310

6th Hole

Par 5 · 558

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.

Tee 1: 558

Tee 2: 558

Tee 3: 540

Tee 4: 540

Tee 5: 513

Tee 6: 480

7th Hole

Par 3 · 171

Pro’s Tip:
A penalty area left and bunker right guard the green on the picturesque par 3. On the putting surface, a large slope in the middle will challenge even the best putters.

Tee 1: 171

Tee 2: 142

Tee 3: 142

Tee 4: 142

Tee 5: 129

Tee 6: 87

8th Hole

Par 4 · 422

Pro’s Tip:
The landing area on this par 4 is protected by a fairway bunker on the right and a penalty area left. On the approach, players will have to navigate a mid-iron into an elevated and slopping green that’s surrounded by heavy rough, bunkers, and a penalty area.

Tee 1: 422

Tee 2: 395

Tee 3: 395

Tee 4: 365

Tee 5: 365

Tee 6: 320

9th Hole

Par 4 · 457

Pro’s Tip:
The back nine opens like the front, with a par 5. Players must place their tee shot between the fairway bunkers on the left and deep rough on the right. The second shot plays over another fairway bunker around 100 yards from the green. Finally, the putting surface is guarded by heavy rough and two deep bunkers.

Tee 1: 457

Tee 2: 403

Tee 4: 492

Tee 5: 492

Tee 6: 437

11th Hole

Par 4 · 396

Pro’s Tip:
The eleventh is a challenging, short and straight par 4. Player’s tee shots must navigate four fairway bunkers around an undulated landing area. This will leave a short iron into a shallow green that’s guarded by a bunker short, heavy rough long, and a penalty area to the left.

Tee 1: 396

Tee 2: 370

Tee 3: 370

Tee 4: 370

Tee 5: 325

Tee 6: 276

12th Hole

Par 4 · 366

Pro’s Tip:
Tee shots on the par 4 twelfth ought to be laid-up to the left. Players ought to leave themselves about 120 yards to the green to give themselves the best shot at the green. Approach shots play over a creek to a narrow green that slopes from back-to-front.

Tee 1: 366

Tee 2: 366

Tee 3: 345

Tee 4: 345

Tee 5: 322

Tee 6: 287

13th Hole

Par 3 · 183

Pro’s Tip:
A well-struck tee shot on this par 3 will leave a great chance at birdie. The large greenside bunkers and deep collection area behind the green have been known to turn good scores into bad ones.

Tee 1: 183

Tee 2: 158

Tee 3: 158

Tee 4: 124

Tee 5: 124

Tee 6: 115

14th Hole

Par 4 · 385

Pro’s Tip:
The fourteenth is a straightforward par 4 that begins the home stretch. Tee shots ought to be places between the bunkers guarding both sides of the fairway. A short-iron will be left into a relatively easy green.

Tee 1: 385

Tee 2: 385

Tee 3: 354

Tee 4: 354

Tee 5: 315

Tee 6: 278

15th Hole

Par 5 · 576

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.

Tee 1: 576

Tee 2: 576

Tee 3: 552

Tee 4: 487

Tee 5: 487

Tee 6: 467

16th Hole

Par 4 · 382

Pro’s Tip:

Tee 1: 382

Tee 2: 337

Tee 3: 337

Tee 4: 337

Tee 5: 296

Tee 6: 277

17th Hole

Par 3 · 172

Pro’s Tip:
The final par 3 is a beautiful downhill one to a fairly large putting surface. Some challenging pin positions can force the most aggressive players to aim for the middle of the green.

Tee 1: 172

Tee 2: 172

Tee 3: 147

Tee 4: 147

Tee 5: 119

Tee 6: 100

18th Hole

Par 4 · 415

Pro’s Tip:
The finishing hole at Blackjack is an uphill par 4. A solid play off the tee is to aim between the bunkers. Approach shots play into a green that heavily sloped from back-to-front and is guarded by two bunkers.

Tee 1: 415

Tee 2: 359

Tee 3: 359
