Challenging

The 15th at Oregon Golf Club presents a strategic par 5 that rewards calculated aggression over pure power. At 549 yards, this straight-away hole may appear straightforward, but the small green complex demands precision on every shot. The generous fairway invites drivers to let loose off the tee, setting up an intriguing decision for the second shot - lay up for a comfortable wedge or take on the green in two with a long iron approach. With minimal hazards protecting the hole, the primary defense lies in the compact putting surface that penalizes wayward approach shots. The elevated green site adds visual intimidation and requires careful club selection, making this a true three-shot hole for most players despite its accessible yardage.
