Hole 14 at La Quinta Country Club

Par 4 • 436 Yards • La Quinta, California

Enhanced Content

Tough

The 436-yard par 4 14th at La Quinta Country Club demands both power and precision as the second-hardest hole on the course. This straight-away layout may appear deceptively simple from the tee, but its true challenge lies in the execution required for scoring. The generous fairway welcomes aggressive drives, yet positioning becomes critical for the approach to the small, well-protected green complex. Without major hazards to navigate, golfers must rely on course management and shot-making skills to attack the pin. The compact putting surface demands accurate iron play, as missing the target leaves challenging recovery shots. This hole rewards calculated aggression while punishing careless execution.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

Play conservatively off the tee to a 200-yard target where the fairway is 30 yards wide, avoiding the dramatic narrowing that occurs at the 250-yard mark.

hazard warning

Avoid aggressive driving beyond 250 yards where the fairway pinches to just 4 yards wide - this creates an extremely high-risk target that's not worth the potential reward.

approach

From a 200-yard tee shot position, you'll face a 236-yard approach to a moderately-sized green measuring 27 yards by 22 yards - plan for a long iron or hybrid shot.

green

Target the center of this 3,631 square foot green rather than attacking pins, as the green's modest size at 27 by 22 yards rewards accuracy over aggression on approach shots.

hazard warning

Be aware of greenside bunkers positioned at 420, 429.5, and 451.1 yards from the tee - these guard the putting surface and penalize slightly mis-hit approach shots.
