Hole #15 - Cypress Point Club, Pebble Beach, CA - 143 yards Par 3

In my opinion, this is the most beautiful hole in the world.  The 16th is more difficult and more heroic, but it is not more beautiful (barely).  Also, as much as the 16th is exhilarating to play, this hole comes first in the round, and is probably the most artistically bunkered hole in the world.  Combine that with the setting hard against the Pacific Ocean with white caps splashing all around you, and it is just unbeatable.

The hole itself requires a short shot to a modified-kidney shaped green that is surrounded by bunkers.  The ocean does not come into play unless you top it off the tee, but is distracting nonetheless.  The green is gently contoured and as such, will give up birdies.  Among the Dream 18, this is probably the easiest hole.
