Oak Hollow is fortunate to have many of the unique characteristics of a Pete Dye design—railroad ties, pot bunkers, several peninsula greens and even an island tee make up a bevy of Pete Dye design features. However, our small, undulating greens serve as our most recognizable Dye trademark.
The signature hole is the 420-yard, par-4 sixth, a dogleg left around the lapping waters of the lake. An island tee box at the tips offers an air-gulping challenge for the brave. Other golfers can bite off as much of the dogleg as they feel they can chew. It’s a well-earned par.
The second hole, a short par-5, is another example of Pete Dye’s risk-reward style. At 456 yards from the mixed tees, it invites golfers to go for the green in two. It’s an easy par-5 if the golfer lays up to the left of the long, narrow green, but almost everyone goes for it in two. Long hitters who can get a short iron in their hands for the approach shot have a distinct advantage. Anyone attacking the green with a 5-iron or longer is leaning heavily on luck because the green isn’t really designed to receive such a shot, and the ball often rolls off, setting up some very difficult chip shots.
The 11th hole, a 437-yard, par-4, may be the toughest hole on the course, as it demands a perfectly placed tee shot. A three-tiered green along the water’s edge adds to the difficulty of this challenging hole.
The 15th hole is a par-5 with a roller-coaster fairway and a sharp dogleg left. Getting home in two requires a long, well-placed tee shot. The second shot must avoid the deep ravine just left of the elevated green. A well-placed layup gives golfers a level approach of about 100 yards to this small, bunkered green.
Finally, the 18th hole is another par-4 that measures 448 yards and provides a strong finishing challenge. A long tee shot is required, followed by a difficult all-carry long-iron approach to a narrow green.
