Hole 15 Discussion

The 15th has a wide fairway and crossing bunkers throughout.

The standard drive plays left, with a forced carry over three deep bunkers, but has a clear shot to the green.

The aggressive drive plays over the bunkers right, but has a forced carry to the green, but the green slopes toward this landing area, so it will easily hold shots.

The conservative play is to approach the hole as a par five, play short of the right side bunkers, then over the grass bunker, and run ball up the left side to the green.

The green itself slopes back-left to front-right, and has a steep ridge separating the back-left corner.

According to Golf Digest, this hole is a mirrored the Country Life contest entry submitted by Tom Simpson, which he retracted after learning that his then business partner, Herbert Fowler, would be a judge.
