Hole 14 at Oregon Golf Club, The
Par 4 • 431 Yards • West Linn, Oregon
The Oregon Golf Club's 14th hole presents a deceptively challenging par 4 that demands both precision and power from the championship tees at 431 yards. This straight-away layout appears inviting from the tee, with a generous fairway that encourages aggressive play, yet the absence of significant hazards can lull players into complacency. The real test emerges on the approach shot, where the small green becomes the hole's primary defense. Positioned as the 10th handicap hole, this strategic gem rewards accurate iron play while punishing wayward approaches that miss the compact putting surface. The green's modest dimensions transform what seems like a straightforward par 4 into a precision test that separates confident ball-strikers from those who struggle with distance control on their approach shots.
