OAK HILL COUNTRY CLUB INFORMATION

The pros will be playing from near the championship tees, but you can play from whatever length you feel challenges your game just enough. According to the Oak Hill Country Club scorecard, there are six different tees you can play from: 

• Championship tees: 7,390 yards
• Black: 6,995 yards
• Blue: 6,655 yards
• White: 6195 yards
• Gold: 5,595 yards
• Green: 5265 yards 

The men's par is listed as 71/70. Depending on what tees you play from, the 17th hole can play as a par 4 or 5, which is why there is a difference in the full course men's par number. 

For women, it is a par 72 course from the women's tees. They would play the 17th hole as a par 5, and also change hole 1 from a par 4 to a par 5 to make up the extra two strokes.
