The plan for No. 14
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.
Off the tee
The straight layout allows for an aggressive target line down the center of the fairway, but club selection becomes crucial. Most players will benefit from taking less than driver to ensure optimal positioning for the approach shot. A 3-wood or long iron that finds the fairway center, leaving approximately 120-150 yards to the pin, often proves more valuable than a longer drive that strays into rough or creates an awkward approach angle. Focus on tempo and balance rather than maximum distance. The relatively short hole length means that even a conservative tee shot leaves a very manageable approach. Avoid the temptation to overswing, as accuracy off the tee directly correlates to scoring opportunities on this hole.
Approach & recovery
The small green size makes this approach shot all about precision club selection and target commitment. With the green's compact dimensions, there's little margin for error in distance control. Take one extra club and swing smoothly rather than forcing a shorter iron. Aim for the center of the green regardless of pin position, as the small target makes going directly at tucked pins unnecessarily risky. The middle of the green provides the best opportunity for a manageable putt while avoiding short-sided situations that can quickly turn birdie chances into bogeys.
On the green
The small green typically features subtle breaks that can be deceiving. Spend extra time reading putts, as the compact surface means even slight misreads can send balls well past the hole. Focus on speed control above all else, as leaving putts short on small greens often provides better second-putt opportunities than aggressive attempts that race past. When pin positions are on the edges, remember that the center of the green remains the highest percentage target for approach shots, even if it means longer first putts.
