Oak Point Golf Course Part 1

Time for some more golf hole-by-hole reviews at Kiawah Island.  This is going to be the first nine holes of Oak Point Golf Course.  Hole 1 – You need to favor the right side of the fairway due to the trees on the inside can block your second shot.  This is a risk-reward second shot for the better players.  You need to watch out for the water on the left and the bunkers on the right.  Hole 2 – This is a medium-length course with a large green that narrows on the right.  There is a bunker to the right before the green and water on the left.  Hole 3 – Players need to favor the left side of the fairway as to avoid the fairway bunker.  Hole 4 – Players need to favor the right side of this par 5 hole.  Water is on the left side of the fairway and it starts beyond the fairway bunker.  Hole 5 – You need to favor the left side of the fairway because if you hit too far right the trees could block the approach to the green.  There is also the lagoon to watch out far if shots go too far.  Hole 6 – You will want to hit off from the tee to the right of fairway.  But you need to be careful of the fairway narrowing, the bunkers on the left, and the trees on the right.  Hole 7 – This hole is a very difficult one due to the green being long and the narrow green you must hit to.  You will need to watch out for the oak tree on your second shot.  Hole 8 – This hole can be a challenge for players.  It all depends on how you play the hole.  You will need to be careful of the bunkers that guard both left and right sides of the green.  Hole 9 – This hole is relatively short but the wind can play havoc on the players who have miss-hit shots.  If you play into the wind make sure to add two to three clubs depending on the strength.  I hope your front nine holes of Oak Point Golf Course go well due to knowing this knowledge about these holes.
