Latest Golf Hole Pictures - 2021

Photos on This Page Last Updated December 26, 2021

This Web page contains golf hole pics of North Ridge CC that have been "recently" added to our Website. I put recently in quotes, as I am not sure how often the page will be updated. It depends upon weather/camera-availability when I am on the golf course and other factors.

It is intended that the next phase of North Ridge photos will be movies of each golf hole. When will that be completed? I have no idea. None of this is officially part of North Ridge and its projects; I am simply an interested member of North Ridge Country Club who enjoys this topic.

Some of the pictures included in this page are also on the primary pictures-of-golf-holes at North Ridge Web page pointed to my this site's navigation page (see the above "About Us, Newsletters, Discussion, Golf Course Pictures' button).

The photos/site are purely taken as part of my interest and are shared for others who have a common interest in this matter. Period.

If you have pictures of North Ridge CC that you feel would contribute to this site: Thank you, in advance, for contacting me.

Regards,

Another Near-Perfect Sunday Morning - Oaks Course

This was a special-weather day - and, the golf-play was good on its own; that happens, still, once in awhile! We don't play this wonderful game for the score - but, great weather and a few "feel gooder"-golf shots can combine to make the morning golf-walk a joy.

Sorry, for the Sun in the photo... Someday I play later in the day and get a better photo from this tee...
About 250 yds to safely clear the corner. I don't play this tee anymore. The Front Tee fits my game, now.

August - Some of the Oaks

Enough rain/etc. this Summer to keep things green. No "severe storms" - yet.

I know I have shown this view many times... However, I keep trying to capture "The View". Someday, that will happen.

Oaks 18th Approach Shot Hidden Bunker

I had not taken the time to measure where this bunkers is.
It is 50 yds in front of the "corner" bunkers and 40 yds from the green.
I wonder what ran through the golf course "renovation" team when they decided this bunker was a good idea....

Once Again: Some of Oaks Inside-9

We play these holes regularly as we enjoy our two-hour, 9-hole morning golf/walks. We are fortunate!

Oaks 14th

The most-noticeable (for we photo-takers... and, for many players) changed-area/golf-holes resulting from the 2019 Oaks Course renovation. A "million" trees were removed and the Oaks 14th tee moved a bit left to "straighten" the hole driving-wise. I finally had a chance to get a few photos of such and the photos are included below. I have not (yet) placed them in the Oaks 14th "Golf Course pictures of NRCC" (which is pointed to off of this Web site's Navigation at the top of this Webpage). I will update Oaks 14th on that part of this Website - someday.

Oaks 14th Hole Regular and Forward Tees
June 17, 2021

From the Regular Tee (this photo's view) it is about 230 yds to have a second shot with a clear view of the 14th green. 190 or so for the Forward Tee players.

An Oaks Course Front Tee

I "moved up" golf-playing-wise to the front tees as this Summer gets underway. So far, I have enjoyed such and playing tee shots from the same tee as my wife does play from means the golf/walk is even more of a sharing-time-together 2-hrs (we normally play nine holes). Playing from the front tee will enable me to get more photos from the Front Tee(s) of our two courses. Good!.... I have tended to skip photo-taking from those tees more than I should have in the past. In any case - below is the Front Tee view from Oaks #5, par-5 dogleg left. Yes, I can hit a driver from this tee, still: The far traps are just under 200 yds and without fairway-roll I stay short of those traps. I do not attempt/waste time/energy trying to hit over the left-shown traps... those are not "fun" places for me to play from.

Starting and Ending on the Oaks Course

Ok... I know the photos are somewhat repetitive -- and, I am sure -- boring in many ways to a lot of people; however I still enjoy trying for "The" photo of spots/area I have an opportunity for a golf/walk. So.... Here are a few photos of this past week's Oaks Course Inside nine starting/ending golf-hole/surrounding-area photos. Still searching for "The" photo or two!

Oaks 18th Hole Green Area - A Common Chip-4th Shot I am often face with...
This view and the Green have changed quite a bit as a result of the 2019 Oaks Renovation.
The many "fun" pin placements make this a challenge even after one reaches this green.

Oaks Course - 2021 - Still Evolving

As 2021 got underway we continue to see how the Oaks Course changes over time - and: After the 2019 Renovation. Although my Sunday morning golf/walks are normally just the "Inside Nine" of the Oaks: I enjoy "it" each time we have/take the opportunity to do so.

After a 3-Month Break

Well... Three months passed by and ZERO golf/walks on Sunday mornings during that stretch. Weather just did not cooperate on Sunday mornings. The sleep-ins were wonderful -- but, it was great to get started today. Just one photo:
