Breaking Down Ballyhack Hole #15
This tee shot makes me want to do fun/stupid things.
oh my goodness...what i've been thinking of as the "left fairway" option here is actually the #14 fairway.
i thought that left notch of the actual #15 was just the wide part of playing it to the right.
so yeah, that's a bit of a farm-field muni play! it's interesting they didn't route #14 on the other side of the creek.
If you haven’t played it, any normal strategy going into this hole goes out the window the moment you get to the teebox
Stay left. Trust me on this. 
No

So 14 is to the far right of the tee here. The left and what the preview pictures show, is the left side of the fairway. That small little nub, is the right side fairway. People played to the right of even that last year
I believe it.

I’d pay money to see a group play it to the left
The only reason to go left is if you hate your caddieI’d pay money to see a group play it to the left

$1. No more, no less
yeah, i got the sides listed backwards...without looking at it closely i was thinking that the way right option (#14) was a legit part of #15.
we've been playing it over there on the sim.
crazy!

I can't reach in two anyway so I'm prolly playing backwards to get a number close to 125-130 into the green and go from there. The bunker complex near the green looks ridiculous!

The end of the fairway (I'm trying to remember now) is like 125 from the center of the green, jus don't hit it short!I can't reach in two anyway so I'm prolly playing backwards to get a number close to 125-130 into the green and go from there. The bunker complex near the green looks ridiculous!
I don’t think the green was overly penal in this hole. Play it like a 3 shot hole down the left and try for par. I think I can do that without forgetting how to swing a golf club if I had a do over. The first couple times did not go well for this mental midget.
I agree with the assessments that it is not a well designed hole. And that tree between 14 and 15 fairway can get cut down at anytime.
By the looks of the green undulation definitely don't want to be hitting mid iron into and expecting to hold any semblance of straight-ish rollout. I'd have to take my chances getting close to the end of the fairway to keep wedge, maybe 9i in hand
As I am not a bomber I played this hole as a three shot par 5. I believe it was something like driver, 9 iron, 9 iron. 2 putts and the next tee.
