Hole 15 at Mountain High Golf Course

Par 3432 Yards • Bend, Oregon

Enhanced Content
Brutal

The signature Mountain High Golf Course hole 15 stands as one of Oregon's most demanding par 3s, stretching an intimidating 432 yards from the championship tees. This brutally long one-shotter requires nothing short of a perfect strike to reach the small, elevated green complex nestled against the high desert landscape. With minimal hazards to distract, the hole's primary defense lies in its sheer distance and the precision required to hold the compact putting surface. The straight-line approach offers no bailout areas, demanding golfers commit fully to their club selection and swing. Wind conditions typical of Bend's high elevation can dramatically affect play, making this the course's number one handicap hole a true test of power and accuracy that separates skilled players from the field.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

This exceptionally long par 3 at 432 yards requires a driver or fairway wood for most players. Focus on accuracy over distance as you have a generous 40-yard wide fairway at the 200-yard mark to work with.

The compact 3,950 square foot green measuring 29 by 27 yards demands precision on your approach shot. This relatively small target for such a long hole makes club selection and accuracy critical.

tee shot

With no bunkers identified on this hole, your primary focus should be finding the fairway and setting up the best angle for your approach. The absence of sand hazards allows for more aggressive play.

approach

Given the green's dimensions of 29 yards deep by 27 yards wide, aim for the center of the green rather than attacking pin positions. The green's shape is nearly square, so distance control is as important as direction.
