Hole 15 at SCGA Member's Club is a short, yet challenging par 4. From the championship tees, it measures a modest 351 yards and has a handicap of 18. This hole features a slight dogleg left with water hazards to the left and bunkers scattered throughout.
The tee shot on this hole should be aimed slightly right of center to avoid the fairway bunker on the left side. With an average drive distance of about 217 yards, most golfers will have around 134 yards remaining for their approach shot. However, it's important to note that altitude and wind can significantly impact ball flight conditions at this course.
For example, in the summer months when temperatures are high and winds are calm, players may experience longer drives due to thinner air. On the other hand, in winter months when temperatures are cooler and winds are stronger, players may see shorter distances off their driver.
With these factors in mind, club selection for both tee shots and approach shots should be adjusted accordingly.
As for approaching the green on Hole 15, there are three greenside bunkers which account for only about 6% of total bunker coverage on this hole. Therefore, aiming towards either side of the green would be safe options as long as they avoid any potential hazards or rough areas surrounding them.
Ultimately,this hole requires strategic thinking and precise execution from start to finish in order to score well. So remember to take into account any weather conditions that may affect your game plan before teeing off!

7. Avoid getting too aggressive on this short par 4 - play smart and safe shots to set up a good chance at scoring well.
