Welcome to the 15th hole at Spyglass Hill Golf Course in beautiful Pebble Beach, California. This challenging par 3 is a true test of precision and strategy. The championship tees measure at 130 yards, but don't let the distance fool you - this hole has a handicap of 18, making it one of the more difficult holes on the course.
As you approach the tee box, take note of your surroundings. On this hole, water comes into play so be sure to choose your club wisely. With an average drive distance of 217 yards with your driver, consider using a long iron or hybrid for better control and accuracy off the tee.
The green measures at a spacious 6172 square feet with no bunkers in sight. However, do not let that lull you into complacency as there is still plenty of trouble lurking around here. The green slopes from back to front and has some subtle breaks that can make putting tricky.
When considering your approach shot from approximately 140 yards out (using a seven iron), keep in mind that altitude and wind can greatly affect ball flight conditions here at Spyglass Hill Golf Course throughout all four seasons. Be mindful of any changes in elevation or gusts of wind when choosing your club for this shot.
For women playing from their designated tees measuring at just under 100 yards (99), I recommend taking an extra club due to potential weather factors mentioned earlier.
Overall, this hole requires both accuracy off the tee and precise execution on approach shots if you want to walk away with par or better. Good luck!
