Hole #15

The fifteen hole at Lake Panorama National is the hardest hole on the golf course and for good reason. The hole measures 389 yards from the blues, 354 yards from the yellow tees and only 300 yards from the forward tees. Distance is not a big issue on this hole but accuracy is. On the right side, out of bounds runs the whole length of the hole while pine trees guard the left side blocking shots to the green if you bale out to the left. Once in the fairway, you will have to thread you approach shot between two groups of trees over water that guards the front and left side of the green. Do not relax yet because the green features three tiers that run the length of the green making putting very difficult. If you are above the pin, you will be hoping for a two putt. This hole allows very few birdies along with some pars but mostly higher scores with all of its challenges.
