#14 is a par 3
145 from the black tee
128 from the green tee
This is the fourth of five 3s on the course that range from really good to world class. There's not a bad one in the bunch. The quality of the par 3s is so good that only upon further reflection does the golfer realize that this is the third par 3 in a five hole stretch.
Although the 11th is also a short par 3 of similar yardage, these two holes play in the oppostie direction. It is highly unlikely that one will use the same club on these two holes unless the wind is at its calmest. In typical winds, the two holes will usually play at least two clubs different. I've played a round where there was a 5-6 club difference (6I to #11 and SW to #14.)
The front pin position is particularly touchy in the summer wind because it is hard to land the ball in the proper position to leave a nice birdie putt. Short of the green can be dangerous, particularly if combined with a slight miss left or right. Left will leave you well below green level, with a touchy shot that will roll back to your feet if not placed safely on the green. In a strong wind, all types of bunkers come into play on the right side that don't appear to be an issue at first glance. I've seen more than one ball end up down closer to 13 than 14. This hole is one of the best possibilities at birdie given the short club in hand. It's also a realistic possibility to come away with 6 or worse if you don't strike that short club precisely. I've witnessed 2s, 3s, 7s, and 8s in my time on this hole.
I have several different shots and angles from the tee, but I dont have a great photo of the green. Contributors are welcom.
