Hole 14 at Oakmont Country Club is a 358-yard, par 4 with a slight dogleg left. The fairway width of 33 yards gives you some room to play off the tee, but errant shots will be punished by 13 strategically placed bunkers. At 332 yards from the Men's tees and 327 yards from the Women's tees, this hole can be reached in two for many golfers. If you decide to go for it, keep your shot low as there are 9% greenside bunkers that guard the green.
Local weather conditions should also be taken into consideration when playing Hole 14 at Oakmont Country Club. During summer months (June - August), temperatures range between 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit and winds typically blow around 5 mph with higher gusts possible on windy days. In winter months (December - February), temperatures drop significantly and can reach below freezing levels while winds may increase up to 15 mph or more depending on local weather patterns. Altitude does not have much of an effect on ball flight here due to its flat terrain; however, players should expect colder conditions during winter months which could affect club selection off the tee and approach shots into this green complex.
