Par 5 • 523 Yards • Belleair, Florida

Enhanced Content

Challenging

Pelican Golf Club hole 14 unfolds as a strategic par 5 that rewards patience and precision over brute strength. Stretching 523.0 yards with a handicap rating of 8, this dogleg right demands a well-placed tee shot to set up the ideal angle for the layup or a bold approach at the green. The fairway bends away from the tee, tempting players to challenge the corner while flirting with trouble lurking along the turn. A single greenside bunker guards the putting surface, punishing shots that drift offline and demanding a precise short game to escape cleanly. This hole's blend of shot-shaping demands and calculated risk-reward decisions makes it one of the most memorable tests on the back nine, where course management often trumps raw power.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

The fairway is generously wide at 200 yards (57 yards) and widens further to 59 yards at 250 yards, giving players confidence to swing freely off the tee. Favor the widest landing zone between 200-250 yards for optimal positioning.

hazard warning

Twin bunkers sit at 291.9 and 293.2 yards, flanking the fairway almost symmetrically. Long hitters going for distance off the tee must account for this hazard pair—laying up short of 290 yards or carrying well past 295 yards are the safest plays.

approach

A third bunker looms at 446.6 yards, likely guarding the approach corridor to the green. With 523 total yards, this hazard sits roughly 76 yards short of the putting surface—plan your second shot to clear or avoid this bunker before committing to your approach club.

green

This medium-sized green (5,612 sq ft) measures 25 yards wide by 42 yards deep, offering a fairly generous target but demanding precise distance control given its elongated shape. Aim for the center of the green to maximize your margin for error on the approach.

tee shot

At 523 yards, this par 5 is reachable in two for longer hitters, but the bunker cluster near 292 yards makes strategic lay-ups attractive for mid-handicap players. Consider a 3-wood or hybrid off the tee to stay short of the bunkers while setting up a manageable approach.
