Par 4 • 480 Yards • Hamburg, New Jersey

Enhanced Content

Brutal

Ballyowen Golf Club hole 14 presents a formidable 480-yard par 4 that demands both power and precision from the championship tees. This straight-ahead challenge features a generous fairway that invites aggressive tee shots, but the real test awaits at the green complex. With no significant hazards to navigate, golfers might assume this hole lacks teeth, yet the small green creates a demanding target for approach shots. The key lies in finding the optimal position off the tee to set up the best angle into the compact putting surface. Length control becomes paramount on the approach, as anything short or long of this tight target will leave difficult recovery shots. This deceptively challenging hole rewards strategic thinking over brute force.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

approach

With bunkers positioned at 430 yards from the tee, you'll face a challenging approach shot over or around these hazards - plan your tee shot to leave yourself with a clear angle to attack the pin on this lengthy par 4.

green

The generous 5,472 square foot green (33 yards x 33 yards) offers a large target for your approach shot, but pin position will be critical - aim for the center of this expansive putting surface to avoid three-putts on such a big green.

tee shot

At 480 yards, this hole requires two quality shots to reach in regulation - focus on positioning your drive in that narrow 12-yard fairway window to set up a manageable approach to the large green rather than leaving yourself a long iron from the rough.
