Hole 14 at TPC Sawgrass (Dye Valley)
Par 3 • 207 Yards • Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida
At 207 yards, TPC at Sawgrass hole 14 stands as the course's most demanding par 3, earning its status as the number one handicap hole. This deceptively challenging one-shotter requires precision over a straightaway layout to a small, well-guarded green complex. While the hole appears relatively straightforward without major water hazards, the compact target and strategic bunkering demand nothing less than a perfect tee shot. Club selection becomes critical as the green's modest dimensions leave little margin for error. Players must commit fully to their yardage and trust their swing, as anything short or long of the putting surface spells trouble on this unforgiving test of accuracy.

Club selection is critical on this 207-yard par 3 - choose a club that carries the full distance as there's no fairway landing area short of the green.
Aim for the center of this compact 3,526 square foot green (22y x 30y) to maximize your margin for error on all sides.
Beware of bunkers positioned at 219.7 yards - going long with too much club will find sand trouble beyond the green.
With zero landing zone from the tee, this is a true target golf hole - commit to carrying your ball all the way to the putting surface.
The green's 22-yard width provides a reasonable target, but precision is key - favor the center to avoid short-sided positions.
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.
