Course Information » Restoration — Hole #15
Tom Doak describes the fifteenth as “(one of more) dramatic holes on the golf course when it opened in 1929.” Restoration of the bunker-filled gully has returned Dr. MacKenzie’s original design and, Doak feels, “added an exclamation point to the hole, which may put it in the same league as the famous short par-3s at Pebble Beach and Cypress Point to the south.”
