Hole 14 at Rock Creek Park Golf Course is a challenging par 4 that requires accuracy and strategy. Located in Washington, District of Columbia, this hole measures 328 yards from the championship tees with a slight dogleg right. The women's tee is slightly shorter at 315 yards.

The average golfer should approach this hole with caution as it has a handicap rating of 7, making it one of the more difficult holes on the course. It is important to note that altitude and temperature can impact ball flight conditions here, especially during colder seasons when the ball may not travel as far.

Off the tee, using a driver may be too much club for some golfers due to its length and potential for overshooting into trouble on either side of the fairway. A safer option would be to use a hybrid or long iron to ensure accuracy and leave a manageable distance for the approach shot.

The green area measures at approximately 5558 square feet, providing enough space for an accurate approach shot. However, there are no bunkers around or on this green which means there is less risk involved in going for pins closer to the edges.

For most golfers, their second shot will likely require an iron or wedge depending on their skill level and distance preferences. With an average pitching wedge distance of about 120 yards according to our inferred data and statistics provided above, most players should aim towards hitting their approach shots short of center green rather than risking leaving themselves with longer putts by aiming directly at pins tucked near back corners.

Overall, Hole 14 at Rock Creek Park Golf Course demands precision off both tee and fairway while also offering some room for error around its relatively large putting surface without any greenside bunkers present within range.
