Video: 14th Hole at Stony Creek
Stony Creek Greens Superintendent Tim Scott shares some insider tips on the course's 14th hole, which can play several ways depending on the tee box you choose.
Stony Creek is one of the shorter tracks in Southland golf, but its intricate layout still provides a challenge for all golfers.
The 14th hole is a perfect example of a hole that can prove difficult if golfers don't find the fairway. The 370-yard, par-4 hole features a slight dogleg right, making it tough for people with a natural draw.
Tee shots from the back tees must cross over a creek and stay in between a pair of bunkers on each side of the fairway.

"The big hitters can hit a 3-wood off the tee, leave it short of the bunker and have a mid-iron into the green," said Tim Scott, Greens Superintendent at Stony Creek.
On the approach shot, golfers have a large green as a target, but beware of three-putting.
