Hole 14 at Blue Hills Country Club
Par 3 • 188 Yards • Kansas City, Missouri
The 18th handicap hole at Blue Hills Country Club proves that simplicity can be deceptive on this 188-yard par 3. With its straightforward layout and absence of major hazards, this finishing short iron presents a different kind of challenge – precision over power.

Without bunkers or water to distract, golfers must focus entirely on club selection and tempo, making this seemingly gentle hole a true test of fundamentals. It's the kind of par 3 that rewards patience and punishes overconfidence, perfectly positioned as the easiest handicap hole while still demanding respect for proper execution and green-reading skills.
