Hole 14 at Sand Hills Golf Club is a par 5, measuring 508 yards from the Championship tees. This hole has a slight dogleg right and plays downhill for most of its length. The fairway width is 71 yards wide, with 9 bunkers scattered throughout the hole. There are only 2% greenside bunkers as a % of total, making it relatively easy to approach this green in regulation if you can hit your tee shot straight down the middle.

In terms of club selection off the tee box, depending on wind conditions an average golfer should be able to reach this hole in two shots using their driver (217 yards) and 7 iron (140 yards). However due to altitude changes and weather conditions during each season – spring could make this challenging due to increased winds while summer months may require more club off the tee due to higher temperatures affecting ball flight distance – players might find themselves having to lay up short or take out an extra club off the tee based on local conditions.

The approach into this green requires accuracy as there are no greenside bunkers but sand traps located around it which will make chipping difficult if you miss your target area by too much. Aiming towards one side or another could also prove beneficial depending on pin placements so keep that in mind when selecting clubs for your approach shot; Women's tees players should aim for a pitching wedge (~120 yards), while Pro/Championship players have more room for error with their 7 irons (~140 yards).

Club Recommendations

Overall, the key to success on this hole is accuracy off the tee box. Aim for the center of the fairway and choose a club that will get you as close as possible to your desired target area. This should set up an easier approach shot into a relatively open green with minimal greenside bunkers. If wind conditions are present, be sure to adjust accordingly and use more clubs if needed in order to reach your target area safely.
