Hole 15 at Olympia Fields Country Club (North Course) is a long 567 yard, par 5 with a slight dogleg right. The fairway width of 35 yards gives golfers the option to challenge the corner or lay up short and play it safe. There are five bunkers on this hole, four of which are greenside bunkers that make up 4% of the total green area.
The tee shot should favor the left side of the fairway for those looking to maximize their chances at getting home in two shots. For longer hitters, taking an aggressive line over the corner may be rewarded while shorter hitters should aim to stay left off the tee and leave themselves a manageable second shot into this large green complex.
For most golfers playing from championship tees, they will need two solid shots in order to reach this green in regulation; depending on wind conditions and club selection, hitting driver then 3-wood or hybrid could be an ideal combination for both power and accuracy off the tee box. In terms of approach shots, take note that due to its elevation changes throughout all four seasons--as well as temperature variations--the ball flight can vary greatly so adjust accordingly when selecting your clubs for your approach shots into this 9642 sq ft putting surface guarded by 4% bunker coverage around its perimeter.
