Players that are unable to carry the oak tree should play left of the oak tree for an easy approach shot to the green A giant oak tree in the center of the fairway, approximately 70 yards from the green, must be carefully negotiated for the second shot. Many balls that appear safe down the right side end up in the fairway bunker. You should favor the left side off the tee because everything slopes more to the right than it appears. This slightly up hill par 5 is a nice starting hole to get your round off to a good start. Designed by Todd Eckenrode when the architect was a Senior Designer with Gary Roger Baird Design, this 18-hole layout offers a tough but totally engaging test of golf. Situated between the Oak Oasis and Lakeside Country Parks, within the rolling foothills that lie to the northeast of San Diego, the Barona Creek Resort & Casino golf course is the sporting centrepiece of the 400-room Barona Resort & Casino.
