Hole 15 at PGA West's TPC Stadium course is a 468-yard par 4 with slight dogleg right.

The altitude in La Quinta can make this hole play longer than its listed yardage; depending on temperature and wind conditions, golfers should expect their driver shots to travel between 210-220 yards from these tees. A long iron or hybrid club may be necessary for some golfers to reach the green in regulation, as it plays about 400 yards from most tee boxes.
In springtime, you can expect warm temperatures but also gusty winds that will affect your ball flight trajectory when hitting into or away from them. In summer months temperatures remain hot but winds tend to die down making it easier for golfers to control their ball flight direction more accurately than other seasons. Fall brings cooler weather along with unpredictable winds that could cause issues if not taken into account before hitting each shot while winter tends to have milder temperatures compared to fall but higher chances of strong wind gusts coming through during rounds here at PGA West’s TPC Stadium Course.
Overall Hole 15 is a strategic par 4 where accuracy off the tee will be key in order for players set up themselves up for success on their approach shot into this large undulating green complex guarded by 6 strategically placed bunkers surrounding it!
