Hole 15 at White Horse Golf Club is a par 4 with a distance of 366 yards from the championship tees. It has a handicap of 14, making it one of the more challenging holes on the course. This slight dogleg right hole requires accuracy off the tee to avoid fairway bunkers and trees on both sides.
The average golfer should aim for an accurate tee shot that lands in the middle of the fairway, as there is only about 38 yards of width to work with. With a driver averaging around 217 yards, most golfers will have approximately a 149 yard approach shot left.
The green area measures at over 12,000 square feet, providing ample space to land your approach shot. However, there are nine strategically placed bunkers throughout this hole that come into play for any errant shots.
At just under one percent greenside bunkers as a percentage of total bunker count, these hazards should not be too much trouble for most golfers. However, they can still add strokes if not navigated properly.
Local weather conditions may impact ball flight on this hole depending on which season you are playing in Kingston, Washington. In colder temperatures or high altitude settings during winter or fall seasons may cause less carry distance and require longer clubs off both tee and approach shots (e.g., using an iron instead of driver).
Overall,this par four requires accuracy off the tee and precision with approach shots to successfully navigate its challenges and score well. For most golfers hitting their drives around an average distance of ~217 yards would set them up nicely for their second club selection being either pitching wedge (~120 yards) or perhaps even seven iron (~140).
