Hole 14 at Onion Creek Club

Par 4 • 454 Yards • Austin, Texas

Enhanced Content

Tough

The fourteenth hole at Onion Creek Club presents a deceptively challenging par 4 that demands both precision and power from the championship tees at 454 yards. This straight-away hole may appear straightforward at first glance, but its true test lies in the approach shot to a small, well-guarded green complex. The generous fairway invites an aggressive tee shot, rewarding distance with a shorter iron into the putting surface. However, the compact green demands pinpoint accuracy on the approach, as errant shots will leave challenging recovery situations. With its mid-level handicap rating, this hole perfectly exemplifies Onion Creek's strategic design philosophy, where course management and shot execution are paramount for scoring success.
