What's the most challenging or memorable hole at Royster Memorial, and how should I approach it?

You absolutely need to prepare for the par-4 14th at Royster, a dogleg left with a deceptively narrow landing area off the tee. We recommend laying up with a hybrid or long iron to the right side of the fairway, leaving yourself a clear approach over the creek to a well-guarded green.

You'll generally find Royster Memorial's fairways and tee boxes well-kept, reflecting a dedicated grounds crew, though they can get a bit firm in late summer.
