Course TourHole 15 
This hole, "The Eye of the Needle," is by far the most difficult hole on the golf course. Starting with an extremely tight tee shot down a narrow chute, this hole features a fairway lined by mature oaks and wetlands. A mound cuts across the fairway about 270 yards off the Professional tees (220 yards off the Tournament tees). That mound, incidentally, conceals an existing 500-gallon-per-minute well feeding the wetlands and the irrigation system.
A good drive from the Tournament tees can carry the mound, landing in a more open span of fairway. The fairway up to the mound is very tight, with wetlands and woods to the left and very dense woods to the right. If a shot misses the fairway, pray it goes left to the lateral water hazard, not right resulting in stroke and distance because of a lost ball. After placing the tee shot either short of the fairway bunker or laying up to avoid that bunker, the approach to the green from the oak tree is 231 yards. The green is very large, guarded right by a greenside bunker and left by wetlands that will come into play if the ball is moving right to left.
