15th hole (416 feet)

Tamed considerably in 1999 (shortened from 669 feet), but the basket was moved from the middle of an open field to behind a line of small trees, although it's open until you get there.

Chris: "I usually have a reasonable par putt if I keep my second shot out of the trees. I par this not quite half the time."

Ted: "This can definitely play tough. A safe route is a little left of the basket since you've got a bigger hole from there. It'll take a big arm to clear the trees; a lot of times, you'll hit the trees and fall short anyhow, so you don't want to pin yourself far to the right because then you'll have no shot at the basket because of the trees."
