The plan for No. 14

The fourteenth bends left beside the canyon. Position helps open the green, but gaining an angle is worth little if the tee shot brings the ravine into your normal miss pattern.

Off the tee

The inside left edge is defended by fairway bunkers as well as the canyon. Pick a central target with sufficient margin rather than trying to clip the corner. A shot that stays in the wider corridor still leaves a playable route to the green.

Approach & recovery

The green is offset left of the main fairway, with bunkers around its entrance and right side. Check how the available landing depth changes from your position; if the angle is poor, choose the part of the surface you can reach without forcing a curve.

On the green

The outline has two broader ends joined through a narrower middle. A stronger diagonal slope band appears near that connection, so a putt between sections may need more attention to pace than the overall green size suggests.

Watch for

  • Canyon and bunkers inside the left turn
  • Offset approach angle
  • Narrow connection between broader green sections

Research notes

  • The January 2020 official card lists hole 14 as par 4, with Black 437 and Brown 414 yards. Black tees are marked permission only. These are dated printed values, current USGA totals are reconciled separately, including the unresolved 10-yard Green difference. (Page 2, hole 14)[1]
  • The 2019 rehabilitation shifted fairways and bunkers on holes 4, 9, 10, 12 and 17, regrassed approaches, leveled tees and reshaped bunkers. Historical strategy should be checked against the revised geometry. (Scope of Work bullet list)[2]
  • The city schedules South cart-path restrictions from November 10, 2026 through February 1, 2027. These operational dates do not establish green contour acquisition or a green rebuild. (2026 table, South cart-restriction row)[3]
  • The city schedules South Course pre-seeding for October 5–26, 2026 and closure for overseeding and green maintenance October 27–November 9, 2026. Recheck the operator schedule when planning a visit. (2026 table, South Course October rows)[3]
  • The hosts describe how paired greenside bunkers often favor an approach from the central fairway. (45:12–46:04, downloaded publisher audio)[4]
  • USGA lists six men’s setups and five women’s setups. Green totals 6,625 yards; the dated card totals 6,635. Green/White totals 6,403. (CourseID 3576, all 11 rows)[5]
  • Work unit CA_SanDiegoCo_1_D24 was collected November 8–December 1, 2024 at 0.5 m DEM resolution. The August 2026 report date is not its acquisition date. (Page 3, work unit 1)[6]
