Rock Spring Club Hole by Hole - 15th Hole

Hole 15 at Rock Spring Club is a challenging par 4, with a distance of 379 yards from the championship tees. The slight dogleg right requires an accurate tee shot to avoid the fairway bunkers on the left side and set up for an approach shot to the green.

The hole plays as a handicap 10, making it one of the more difficult holes on the course. This means that even experienced golfers may struggle with this hole, so proper strategy and club selection are key.

On average, there are four bunkers strategically placed throughout the fairway and around the green. However, only 2% of these bunkers are greenside, allowing some room for error on approach shots.

Altitude and weather conditions can greatly impact ball flight on this hole. Located in West Orange, New Jersey at an elevation of approximately 300 feet above sea level, players may experience slightly longer drives due to thinner air. In addition, strong winds can make this already challenging hole even more difficult to navigate.

For tee shots off Hole 15, I recommend using a driver for maximum distance while also keeping it in play by aiming towards the right side of the fairway. This will give you a better angle for your second shot while avoiding potential trouble on both sides of the fairway.

From here, most players will have around 140 yards left into a relatively large green measuring at approximately 8537 sq ft. Depending on wind conditions and pin placement, I suggest either hitting a controlled iron or laying up short with a hybrid or long iron to leave yourself with an easy pitch onto the green.

Lastly,the low number (12) assigned as its handicap rating indicates that women playing from their designated tee boxes should be able to score well if they stick to their game plan: Aiming towards safe zones off each tee box while taking advantage of their shorter yardage when possible.

Overall,Hole #15 at Rock Spring Club is a challenging but strategic hole that requires careful planning and execution. With the right strategy and club selection, players can navigate this hole successfully and hopefully come away with a good score.
