14th Hole:

The fourteenth hole is a Par 5, measuring 549 yards from the back tees, and 411 yards from the ladies' tees.  A tough driving hole offering a blind "over the hill" tee shot.

Fortunately, there is a tower behind the tee box that allows viewing of the fairway (at which time you can also check the location of the group in front, to avoid hitting into them).  The left side is tree-lined, and several large white pines guard the right side, as well.  A drive hit slightly left of the mansion (seen from the tee) is a safe line to take.  Long hitters can challenge this hole with a ball hit down the left side, which opens up the hole for an attempt at getting home in two.  Beware, though, as it must be an accurate shot.

The next shot is where this hole gets tough...the second shot is into a fairway that narrows down from the 150 yard marker in, with trees left and right.  Bite off as much as you dare as you position for your approach to the green, since this shot is literally "make or break" for this hole.  The green itself has bunkers left and right, and is perched on the edge of a hill which slopes sharply down to the left.  The green is not very elevated, and is relatively small for this course.  The left side of the green is fairly flat, but the right side has a good amount of slope.
