What to Expect
When you play at Oakwood Park, expect a course that’s approachable yet still requires a bit of strategic thinking. The course's slope rating lends itself well to mid-handicappers, but lower handicappers can still find ways to challenge themselves, especially if they choose the back tees. Watch out for water hazards on a few holes that can quickly turn a solid game into a scramble. Bring a couple of extra balls, just in case, and consider your club selection carefully; distance control is key on approach shots to the greens, which are generally well-protected.
