Hole 15 at Lake Nona Golf & Country Club

Par 5 • 578 Yards • Orlando, Florida

Enhanced Content

Tough

The 15th hole at Lake Nona Golf & Country Club presents a classic risk-reward par 5 that demands both power and precision across its 578 yards. This straight-away layout appears deceptively simple, but the absence of major hazards creates its own strategic complexity—every shot matters when there's nowhere to hide missed executions. The generous fairway invites aggressive tee shots, allowing longer hitters to consider reaching the small green in two with a well-positioned drive. However, the compact green complex requires pinpoint accuracy on approach shots, as balls landing short or long will face challenging recovery situations. What makes this hole memorable is how it rewards calculated aggression while punishing overconfidence, creating a perfect scoring opportunity late in the round at one of Orlando's premier championship venues.
