Hole 14 at Bay Hill Club & Lodge
Par 3 • 206 Yards • Orlando, Florida
The 14th at Bay Hill Club & Lodge presents a deceptively challenging par 3 that has tested professionals and amateurs alike during the Arnold Palmer Invitational. At 206 yards, this straight shot demands precision over a carry that offers little room for error. The small green sits as an inviting target, but its compact dimensions require golfers to commit fully to their club selection and execute with confidence. Without significant hazards to navigate, the challenge lies purely in distance control and pin-hunting accuracy. This hole epitomizes Bay Hill's reputation for rewarding bold, committed swings while punishing tentative play. A well-struck mid-iron finds the putting surface, but anything less leaves a difficult recovery that can quickly derail a promising round.

Club selection is critical on this 206-yard par 3 - take one extra club to ensure you clear the bunkers positioned at 181.7 yards and reach the green comfortably.
Aim for the center of this compact 3,851 square foot green (25y x 29y) rather than attacking pins - the small target demands accuracy over aggression.
The fairway completely disappears at 250 yards, so any overclub that sends your ball long will find trouble - precision trumps distance here.
With only a 12-yard wide fairway at 200 yards, focus on smooth tempo and solid contact rather than trying to muscle the ball to the pin.
This par 3 is ideal for working on your long iron or hybrid. Launch monitors from $600 let you practice this exact shot with real course data from home.
