Enhanced Content

Easy

The shortest par 4 at Highland Park Golf Course hole 14 presents a deceptive challenge that demands precision over power. At just 273 yards, this straight-away layout might appear straightforward, but the small green complex requires surgical accuracy on the approach shot. With no significant hazards guarding the fairway, golfers can be aggressive off the tee, yet the diminutive putting surface punishes wayward iron play. The hole's 18 handicap ranking reflects its strategic nature - longer hitters may attempt to drive the green, while more conservative players will lay up for a wedge approach. This risk-reward opportunity creates memorable moments where course management trumps distance, making it a favorite finishing test before the final stretch.
