Hole 14 at Dundonald Links

Par 5 • 540 Yards • Riverside Business Park, Scotland

Enhanced Content

Challenging

Dundonald Links hole 14 unfolds as a strategic par 5 stretching 540.0 yards, where the fairway bends right and demands a tee shot placed with precision to set up the ideal angle. The dogleg right rewards golfers who favor the left side off the tee, opening a clearer look at the green complex while avoiding the corner's tighter landing area. Twin greenside bunkers guard the putting surface, punishing approach shots that drift offline and testing short-game touch under pressure. Coastal winds off the Ayrshire links add another layer of unpredictability, making club selection on the approach shot as crucial as the strategy chosen from the tee. A true three-shot test of nerve and precision.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

The fairway narrows to just 26 yards wide at the 200-yard mark, so favor a controlled tee shot that carries into the wider 29-yard section found at 250 yards for a more comfortable angle on your second shot.

hazard warning

A fairway bunker sits at 258.0 yards from the tee, directly in the layup zone for longer hitters. Players who carry the ball 250+ yards should club down or aim slightly left/right to avoid this trap.

approach

Two bunkers guard the green complex at 506.5 and 549.8 yards - the first short of the putting surface and the second just beyond it (since the hole plays 540 yards). Take one extra club on approach to avoid coming up short into the 506.5-yard bunker, but don't overcook it into the 549.8-yard trap protecting the back.

green

This is a large green at 7,387 square feet (36 yards by 35 yards), giving players real margin for error on approach shots, but be mindful of longer putts - three-putt avoidance should be a priority when the pin is on the opposite side of your landing spot.

hazard warning

Since the bunker at 549.8 yards sits beyond the hole's 540-yard total length, it effectively catches any approach or third shot that runs long past the green - err on the side of coming up just short rather than aggressive toward back pin positions.
