Cherry Oaks Golf Club

Cherry Oaks' opening hole is a demanding straight par 4 that plays as the course's #1 handicap. The fairway is spacious off the tee but tightens considerably as it approaches a well-bunkered green, with hazards guarding both sides of the landing area and demanding accuracy on the approach.

A short par 3 with a narrow, well-defended green surrounded by strategic bunkering. The hole's brevity is offset by its precision requirement and the challenge of finding the correct tier on a multi-tiered putting surface.

This par 4 ranks as the third-toughest hole on the course and features a dogleg configuration that requires careful positioning off the tee. Deep bunkers frame the fairway bend, and the green is protected by additional sand on its approach, making this a strategic test.

A substantial par 5 with a relatively gentle character and reasonable length, offering opportunities for aggressive players on the back nine's opening stretch. Water hazards come into play on one side of the fairway, while bunkers guard portions of the landing areas.

This short par 4 is ranked as one of the easiest holes on the course, playing downhill from an elevated tee. The compact length and open fairway design make this an ideal opportunity to score well, though the green's contours demand precision.

A mid-length par 4 with a dogleg character that bends around strategic bunkering along the fairway corridor. The green is positioned at an angle to the approach, with additional sand hazards guarding its perimeter and making the second shot a key component of the hole's difficulty.

A very short par 3 that plays downhill to a small, well-contoured green surrounded by closely positioned bunkers. The hole's diminutive yardage belies its precision requirement, as anything wayward finds sand or trouble.

This compact par 4 features a straightforward layout with a narrowing fairway that funnels toward the green. Bunkers are positioned strategically to catch errant tee shots, while the green itself is relatively open but demands accuracy with the approach shot.

The front nine closes with a strong par 5 that bends gently and plays to a generous fairway with bunkering along the inside of the bend. Water or out-of-bounds comes into play on the right side, particularly on the approach, adding a risk-reward element to this hole's conclusion.

A long par 5 that plays straightaway with bunkers positioned throughout the landing areas to define the fairway corridor. The hole's length and strategic bunkering placement reward accuracy and placement over brute distance.

This short par 3 requires only a mid-iron or less, but its small green and surrounding bunkers demand precision over distance. The tiered green and multiple sand hazards make positioning critical despite the modest yardage.

A mid-length par 4 with a dogleg that bends around fairway bunkering on the outside of the turn. The approach to the green is relatively open, but the fairway's narrowing and bunker placement force thoughtful positioning off the tee.

This short par 4 ranks as the course's fourth-toughest hole despite modest length, suggesting tight fairways and a severely defended green. Sand and strategic hazards protect the putting surface, making this deceptively difficult.

Cherry Oaks' easiest hole is this diminutive par 3 with a wide, forgiving green that provides ample space for different shot trajectories. The hole's generous character makes it an ideal birdie opportunity.

The course's second-most difficult par 4 features a dogleg character with substantial length and strategic hazards positioned to challenge both the tee shot and approach. The fairway narrows significantly as it approaches the green, demanding accuracy throughout the hole.

A short par 4 that plays downhill with a relatively open fairway but a green that is tightly guarded by bunkers and other hazards. The hole's compact length is balanced by its precision requirements on the final approach.

This lengthy par 5 features a dogleg configuration with bunkers positioned along the fairway to shape play throughout the hole. Water or out-of-bounds threatens one side, creating a strategic risk-reward scenario for aggressive play.

The course finishes with a strong par 4 that plays straightaway but with fairway bunkering that narrows the corridor as it approaches the green. The finishing hole's positioning of hazards requires thought and precision, providing a memorable conclusion to the round.
