BLACK OAK GC

The Sierra Nevada foothills provide a dramatic backdrop for this Brad Bell design that weaves through towering oaks and granite outcroppings with surprising elevation changes. Bell's strategic bunkering and multi-tiered greens reward course management over pure power, particularly on the dogleg par-4 15th where placement off the tee sets up everything. At just over 6,400 yards from the tips, it's the kind of thinking player's track that gets better with each round.
