Hole 15 Go to 16 Go to 14

Fifteen — 416 Yards, Par 4

The tee shot must stay short of a stream that crosses the fairway at about 295 yards. Most players will drive to the top of the hill, leaving a mid-iron to the green; others can play short of the stream, leaving a downhill approach with a wedge. The fairway slopes severely down and to the left, and might send balls into the rough. The green is diagonally shaped with a false front and plenty of bumps and ridges.

Major Moment

Bobby Jones' slide in the final round of the '29 U.S. Open was punctuated on this hole when he made triple bogey hitting into the trees, pitching out, going over the green, flubbing a chip and two-putting for 7. His six-shot lead was down to one shot, and he eventually wound up in a playoff.
