Hole 14 at Cypress Point Club
Par 4 • 388 Yards • Pebble Beach, California
The 14th hole at Cypress Point Club presents a deceptively challenging par 4 that demands precision over power. At 388 yards, this straight hole may appear straightforward, but its small green complex requires surgical accuracy on the approach shot. The generous fairway invites an aggressive tee shot, yet the real test lies in the second shot to a compact putting surface that punishes anything less than perfect distance control. With minimal hazards to distract, golfers must focus entirely on course management and club selection. This hole exemplifies Cypress Point's understated brilliance—where strategic thinking trumps raw distance, and every shot must be executed with the legendary course's exacting standards in mind.

Target a controlled tee shot to the 200-yard mark where the fairway is at its widest at 24 yards - this gives you the best angle and room for error while avoiding the severe narrowing ahead.
Avoid aggressive drives beyond 250 yards where the fairway pinches down to just 12 yards wide - the risk of finding trouble far outweighs any distance advantage on this 388-yard hole.
Plan your approach to the bunkers positioned at 137 yards from the green - from a 200-yard tee shot, you'll have approximately 188 yards remaining, requiring a mid-iron to clear these hazards.
The compact 3,568 square foot green (30x22 yards) demands precision on your approach - focus on hitting the center of this relatively small target rather than attacking pins.
With no designated landing zone from the tee, course management is critical - lay up to the 200-yard mark to maximize your chances of finding the 24-yard-wide fairway and setting up a manageable approach.
