Tough

Country Club at Muirfield Village hole 15 presents a demanding 459-yard par 4 that serves as the penultimate test on Jack Nicklaus's masterpiece design. This straight, no-nonsense layout may appear deceptively simple from the elevated tee, but its reputation as the second-hardest hole on the course quickly becomes apparent. The generous fairway welcomes most tee shots, yet positioning becomes crucial for the challenging approach to a small, well-protected green complex. Without major hazards to navigate, this hole relies on precision and course management rather than power, demanding two quality strikes to secure par. The green's compact dimensions leave little margin for error on approach shots, making this a true examination of iron play that has tested PGA Tour professionals for decades.
