Hole 15 at Westwoods Golf Club
Par 4 • 348 Yards • Farmington, Connecticut
The 15th hole at Westwoods Golf Club presents a deceptively straightforward par 4 that rewards precision over power. At 348 yards, this straight-away hole might appear benign from the tee, but its compact green demands surgical accuracy on the approach shot. The absence of major hazards shifts the focus entirely to course management and shot placement, making it a true test of fundamental golf skills.
The tee shot offers a generous target, allowing golfers to find their preferred distance for the critical second shot. However, the small green complex becomes the hole's defining challenge, requiring players to dial in their yardages and commit to their club selection. Mid-handicappers will find this hole particularly revealing, as it exposes any weaknesses in approach play while rewarding those who can consistently find the putting surface with confidence.
