Without a doubt, the par-5 14th hole is Deerwood's signature test. It's a dogleg left with water guarding the entire left side, demanding precision off the tee and a smart lay-up if you can't carry the hazard. Don't get greedy trying to reach in two; a well-placed third shot is often the key to a good score here.
