Welcome to the 15th hole at Aviara Golf Club, located in beautiful Carlsbad, California. This par 4 hole is a true test of skill and strategy for golfers of all levels.
From the championship tees, this hole measures an impressive 473 yards with a slight dogleg left. With a handicap of 6, it's clear that this hole presents some challenges even for the best players in the world.
As you approach your tee shot on this long hole, keep in mind that local weather can greatly impact ball flight conditions. The altitude and temperature here can make your shots fly further than expected, so be sure to adjust accordingly.
For average golfers hitting around 217 yards with their driver, it may be wise to lay up short of any hazards or bunkers off the tee. This will leave you with a more manageable distance for your approach shot.
Speaking of bunkers, there are eight strategically placed throughout this hole. However, only 2% are greenside which means they should not come into play too much on your approach shot.
With approximately fairway width measuring at just over two club lengths (34 yards), accuracy off the tee is crucial on this challenging par 4. A well-placed drive will set you up nicely for your second shot onto the green.
The green itself measures at an impressive 11,147 square feet and offers plenty of space to land your approach shot safely. For most average golfers hitting around 140-150 yards with their iron shots or pitching wedge shots from about 120 yards out should do just fine here.
Overall, this demanding par four requires both length and precision off the tee as well as accurate iron play onto a large undulating green complex surrounded by lush surroundings including rolling hillsides and stunning views across Four Seasons Resort’s manicured grounds year-round.
