The plan for No. 14
The 14th hole at Pebble Beach stands as one of golf's most demanding par-5s, earning its fearsome reputation among the legendary "Cliffs of Doom" holes. This strategic test requires precise navigation around multiple bunkers that guard both sides of the fairway, demanding both power and placement for any chance at birdie.
Off the tee
Your tee shot strategy should focus on finding the center of the fairway to set up the ideal second shot. With no significant hazards threatening the landing area, you can be aggressive with your driver or 3-wood depending on conditions. The target line should favor the middle of the fairway, giving you the best angle for your layup or go-for-it decision on the second shot. Coastal winds can be a factor, so club selection may need adjustment based on conditions.
Approach & recovery
This is where the hole's strategy becomes most critical. Longer hitters may have a chance to reach in two, but the small green makes this a high-risk proposition. For most players, a well-positioned layup to about 100-120 yards is the smart play, leaving a comfortable wedge distance. When laying up, favor the side of the fairway that gives you the best angle to the pin position. If going for the green in two, ensure you have enough club to carry any front trouble and account for the green's compact size.
On the green
The small green size makes precision paramount on your approach shots. Putting surfaces at Pebble Beach typically feature subtle breaks toward the ocean, so read putts carefully. Pin positions on smaller greens create more dramatic differences in approach strategy, so pay attention to flag placement. Leave yourself below the hole when possible, as uphill putts on Pebble's greens are generally more manageable.
