Par 3 • 166 Yards • Broadview Heights, Ohio

Enhanced Content

Challenging

The 166-yard par 3 fourteenth hole at Briarwood Golf Course presents a deceptively straightforward challenge that demands precision over power. This straight shot to a small green requires golfers to commit fully to their club selection, as the compact target leaves little margin for error. Without significant hazards to distract, the hole's difficulty lies in its demand for accuracy and distance control.

The elevated tee shot offers a clear view of the putting surface, but the small green complex punishes any approach that strays from the center. Smart golfers will favor the middle of the green regardless of pin position, as short-siding yourself on this hole can lead to challenging up-and-down situations. While it may appear benign from the tee, Briarwood Golf Course hole 14 proves that sometimes the simplest designs create the most memorable scoring opportunities.
