Site of the Hardee's Golf Classic. "Oakwood reflects Dye's belief that a testing layout does not have to be long; Oakwood is only 6539. Beyond that, however, Oakwood does not feature many of the characteristics most people associate with Dye"(1) This course is where Fuzzy Zoeller birdied a record 8 straight holes. (11 to 18) Here are the vital statistics: Hole Yards Par Hole Yards Par 1 402 4 10 508 5 2 341 4 11 386 4 3 442 4 12 160 3 4 450 4 13 432 4 5 148 3 14 442 4 6 514 5 15 405 4 7 326 4 16 384 4 8 172 3 17 210 3 9 433 4 18 384 4 * OUT 3228 35 IN 3311 35 Total 6539 70 * The shortest finishing hole on the PGA Tour. (1) Taken from the book "The Golf Courses of the PGA Tour" Author : George Peper As some of you will notice (those of you with the afore mentioned book) there are more trees on my course than are shown in the book. This is due to the fact that no "real" golfer would be able to hit 300+ yard drives and put them consistantly in the fairway, therefore this is done to make the course more challenging. If you don't like the way it plays feel free to remove as many of the trees as you see fit, Just don't place the revised version on any BBS in contention with the original design. Any questions or constructive comments can be sent to me on any of the following services. Compuserve (76474,3342), Accolade BBS (Ninja), or Exec-PC (Frank Rugby). Thanks and have fun.
