Well, I for one, wish 15 was easier. On my first play, I drove to the base of the green on the left side with the pin on the far left. The chip was intimidating and I tried it 4 times.
On my second play, I laid back to 100 yards, hit a very good sand wedge (for me) and it landed on the back of the green and kicked over.
On the third play, I hit driver to the front left of the green again, and after one try at a chip, I just rammed a putter up the hill.
A few ways to play it, none successful for me.

I love #15. The day of my Hundred Hole Hike, I played it six times. My scores ranged from a 2 to a 7. I hit driver every time trying to make eagle.
You can easily get into trouble right and long. Those bumps and swales short are no picnic, either.

It's a great breather hole with the tough 16-18 coming right after.

Breather?  I missed the O2 bottle on the tee.

It is not a breather, it is a change-up.  And good hitters can look foolish on a good change-up.

Nice analogy, Mr. Doak.  No wonder my swing was so far ahead of the pitch.

Classic!
