Fifteen — 434 Yards, Par 4
"On the Rocks"
The 15th is one of the most scenic holes at Valhalla with Brush Run Creek skirting the entire right side of the hole. The landing area off of the tee is framed by a small bunker to the left and a larger bunker to the right. However, the challenge of this hole is the approach. The green, like the fairway, is skirted by Brush Run Creek, leaving very little room for error to the right. This hole has little change from tee to green; however, the green complex includes the addition of a greenside bunker that fills what used to be a closely mown collection area left of the green. The green itself has been recontoured on both the left and right sides, allowing for more hole locations, some very near the water.
