(great drives ) Bent Creek GC Eden Prairie No. 15 » par 4 » 332-438 yds. Opened 1958 (nine holes); redesigned in 1974 Architect Don Herfort Superintendent Don Notch Head Professional Rory Luck Course Record 63, held by several golfers * H ole No. 15 at Bent Creek has it all-beauty, great design and signifi cant challenge, so bring your A-game. The aptly named Purgatory Creek bisects the fairway at the turn of this dogleg-left hole near 240 yards. It's 260 yards to carry the creek and the prevailing helping wind will tempt longer hitters. The easier carry is on the left, but so is OB the entire length of the hole. " The right side is safer, but you can't really bail out there because of the trees, " says head pro Rory Luck. " It's just less penalizing than the left side. " Drive short of the creek, leaving a 200-yard approach to the severely sloped green guarded by a new bunker front left. Par is very good on what's considered to be the hardest hole on the course. -J.O. ( Stroke Saver " Select the club on the tee that will take the creek out of play-about 230 yards.
