How to score better at Oakridge Golf Club

Success at Oakridge requires prioritising position over distance, as many fairways tighten in the landing zones. Players should identify which side of the fairway offers the best angle to the greens, many of which are well-protected by bunkers or water. Tree-lined fairways and positioning off the tee are critical. Being slightly out of position quickly turns simple shots into recovery situations. This is not a course where distance gives you an advantage. Most golfers would score better by focusing on control and positioning.
