Brutal

The 15th hole at Blue Hills Country Club presents a classic test of precision and power on this 460-yard par 4. This straight-away layout demands accuracy from tee to green, with its deceptively simple appearance masking the strategic challenges that await. The generous fairway invites aggressive play off the tee, but the real test comes with the approach shot to a small, well-protected green that punishes anything less than precise iron play. Without major hazards to navigate, this hole relies on its length and the premium it places on course management. The compact green complex requires golfers to dial in their yardages perfectly, making club selection critical for scoring opportunities. Blue Hills Country Club hole 15 rewards thoughtful strategy over brute force, embodying the timeless design principles that make this Kansas City course a respected test of golf.

green

The green measures 26 yards by 39 yards (6,450 sq ft), providing a reasonably sized target for approach shots. Use the green's depth to your advantage - aim for the center to avoid short-siding yourself on this challenging hole.
