Par 4 • 379 Yards • West Orange, New Jersey

Enhanced Content

Moderate

Rock Spring Club hole 15 presents a deceptively challenging par 4 that rewards precision over power. This 379-yard test features a straight layout that invites an aggressive tee shot, but the small green demands surgical accuracy on the approach. With minimal hazards protecting the hole, the primary defense lies in the compact putting surface that punishes wayward iron shots. The elevated tee provides golfers with a clear view of their target, making club selection critical for the second shot. Smart players will favor position over distance off the tee, setting up a comfortable wedge or short iron to attack the pin. Despite its straightforward appearance, this hole consistently challenges golfers to execute two quality shots, making it a memorable test of accuracy and course management in the heart of West Orange's premier layout.
