Bay Hill Club & Lodge Hole by Hole - 15th Hole

Low Handicapper:

As a low handicapper, you have the power and accuracy to take on this challenging par 4. With drives averaging over 280 yards, you can easily clear the fairway bunkers and set yourself up for a shorter approach shot. However, be cautious of the slight dogleg right - aiming too far left could put you in danger of finding one of the four greenside bunkers. In addition to course strategy, keep an eye on Orlando's hot and humid weather during summer months which may impact your ball flight.

Mid Handicapper:

For mid handicappers with an average drive distance of 230+ yards, this hole presents both challenges and opportunities. While you may not be able to carry all four fairway bunkers off the tee, your consistent accuracy will help avoid them altogether. Take advantage of the wide fairway (approximately 35 yards) by playing smart angles off the tee to give yourself a good look at hitting into this green in regulation.

High Handicapper:

For high handicappers looking to mitigate risk on this hole, focus on keeping your drive in play rather than trying to hit it as far as possible. With an average drive distance around 200+ yards, aim for the wider part of the fairway and use a club that gives you confidence and control off the tee. Keep in mind that only five percent of bunkers are located near or on this green so don't let fear hold back your scoring potential.

Weather Considerations:

In Orlando's warm climate throughout all four seasons (especially during summer), expect some added distance due to altitude changes while also considering how humidity may affect your ball flight conditions - typically causing shots to fly higher with less roll out.
