Pin hunting when the cup is tucked near a false front often results in balls rolling back off the putting surface.

Scoring Zone strategy for Ogden Golf & Country Club

Ogden Golf & Country Club rewards discipline and clear decision-making. Pay close attention to the grain and the influence of the mountains, as putts will often break more toward the valley than they appear. Check the wind direction at the top of the treeline, as the fairways are often sheltered and can provide a false sense of calm. Warm up thoroughly for the elevation changes, as walking the course requires a higher level of fitness.
