Hole 15 at Seminole Golf Club

Par 5 • 495 Yards • North Palm Beach, Florida

Enhanced Content

Moderate

The 15th hole at Seminole Golf Club presents a deceptively challenging par 5 that demands both power and precision across its 495 yards. This straight-away layout may appear straightforward, but its character lies in the strategic decisions required from tee to green. The absence of major hazards creates a false sense of security, as the hole's true test emerges in the approach to the small, subtly contoured green complex.

Off the tee, players can unleash their driver with confidence, knowing the generous fairway will accommodate an aggressive swing. However, the real challenge begins with the second shot, where golfers must decide whether to attempt reaching the green in two or lay up for a more manageable approach. The compact green demands pinpoint accuracy, particularly for those going for it in two, as anything offline leaves a challenging recovery. This risk-reward dynamic epitomizes Seminole's strategic design philosophy, where seemingly benign holes reveal their teeth upon closer inspection.

green

The generous green size of 5,205 square feet (34 yards by 25 yards) allows for aggressive approach shots on this reachable par 5, but club selection should account for pin position within this large target.

approach
