Does Sand Creek have a signature hole, and what makes it stand out?

The par-3 14th is definitely Sand Creek's signature hole, playing dramatically over a wide section of the creek to a well-guarded green. Don't be fooled by its length; the prevailing wind can make club selection tricky, so consider taking an extra club if you're unsure.
