Hole 14 at George W. Dunne National Golf Course is a challenging par 5, measuring in at 550 yards from the championship tees. The hole has a handicap of 6, making it one of the more difficult holes on the course.
The tee shot on this hole is crucial, as it sets up the approach to a well-guarded green. With an average drive distance of 217 yards, golfers should aim for the center or slightly left side of the fairway to avoid being blocked out by trees on the right side. The slight dogleg left also makes it important to avoid hitting too far right off the tee.
The fairway width measures at approximately 47 yards wide and offers some room for error, but accuracy is still key in setting up for a successful approach shot.
As you make your way down towards the green, be mindful that there are five bunkers strategically placed throughout this hole. However, only three percent of these bunkers are located greenside which means they won't come into play as much during your approach shot.
When approaching this large green (measuring in at over 10,000 square feet), consider using a pitching wedge from about 120 yards out or a seven iron if you're closer to around 140 yards away. Depending on weather conditions and elevation changes (as Oak Forest sits at an altitude of approximately six hundred feet above sea level), these distances may vary slightly so be sure to adjust accordingly.
Overall, Hole #14 requires precision and strategic shot-making both off the tee and onto its large green complex. A birdie here will feel like quite an accomplishment!
