Hole 14 at Riviera Country Club is a par 3 measuring 176 yards from the championship tees. The green area measures 12191 sq ft, and is guarded by three bunkers accounting for 15% of the total surface area. With an 18 handicap, this hole offers a challenge to both low and high handicappers alike.
The tee shot should be played with a mid-iron or hybrid club depending on your distance control off the tee. Depending on wind conditions, it may also be beneficial to use less than driver in order to keep your ball in play. In warmer months when temperatures are higher, you can expect your ball flight to carry further due to increased air density; conversely during cooler months, you will want to choose shorter clubs as there will be less lift for your shots.
For approach shots into this green, aim towards the middle of the putting surface and avoid hitting too close to any of its surrounding bunkers which can make up-and-down saves difficult even for skilled players. A 7 iron or pitching wedge should provide enough spin and accuracy needed for most golfers looking for birdie opportunities here - with proper course management and execution you'll have great chances at success!

Finally, when putting on this green, be sure to read the break carefully and adjust your line accordingly. While it may appear flat from a distance, the subtle slopes of this green can make or break your score if you are not careful. Good luck!
