Tahquitz Creek Golf Resort (Resort course) Hole by Hole - 15th Hole

Welcome to the 15th hole at Tahquitz Creek Golf Resort, a challenging par 4 with a length of 400 yards from the Championship tees. This hole is known for its slight dogleg right and strategically placed bunkers that will test your accuracy and shot-making skills.

As you step up to the tee box, keep in mind that this hole has a handicap of 8, making it one of the more difficult holes on the course. The fairway width is approximately 39 yards, so be sure to aim for precision over distance off the tee.

In terms of club selection, if you hit your driver an average distance of around 217 yards, consider using it here as it will leave you with a manageable approach shot. However, if accuracy is a concern for you off the tee, consider using a shorter club such as a hybrid or long iron to ensure you find yourself in play on this narrow fairway.

The approach shot to this green can be tricky due to its size - measuring at only 6479 square feet - and its location guarded by three bunkers. It's important to note that these greenside bunkers make up just two percent of all bunkers on this hole but can have significant impact on your score if not navigated properly.

For an average golfer hitting their pitching wedge around 120 yards, take into account any potential wind conditions as well as altitude changes since we are located in Palm Springs which sits at about sea level. Adjusting accordingly could save you from finding yourself short or long when going for this green in regulation.

Overall, Hole #15 requires both power and precision off the tee followed by strategic decision making on your approach shot. With some careful planning and execution though, conquering this challenging par-4 will surely feel like an accomplishment!
