Hole 14 at Pinehurst Resort and C.C. (#2) is a challenging par 4, with a distance of 471 yards from the championship tees. The hole has a slight dogleg left, making it important for players to accurately place their tee shot in order to set up an optimal approach.
From the tee, the average golfer should aim for a driver that will travel approximately 217 yards. This will leave them with around 254 yards remaining to reach the green. However, due to the length of this hole and its difficulty (handicap of 2), it may be wise for some players to consider using a fairway wood or hybrid off the tee instead.
As you make your way down the fairway, keep in mind that there are seven bunkers strategically placed throughout this hole. While only two percent of these bunkers are greenside, they can still come into play on both your tee shot and approach if not carefully navigated.
The green itself is spacious at 11,515 square feet but beware of its subtle undulations which can make putting challenging. From here, most golfers will need to use either their long iron or hybrid club (around 140-150 yards) followed by a short iron or pitching wedge (120-130 yards) depending on their skill level and distance control abilities.
