The Hole Story

Hole 14 – Oakleaf Hydrangea

A picturesque par 4 and handicap 17, Hole 14 plays as a hard dogleg left that rewards those who can shape their tee shot with a gentle draw. A well-executed drive hugging the left corner sets up the ideal approach into this protected, level green.

Accuracy off the tee is key—too straight and you may run out of fairway, too far left and the trees will block your view. The green is framed by mature trees and lush plantings, creating a sense of calm and focus for the approach shot.

Surrounding the green are striking Oakleaf Hydrangeas, whose broad, lobed leaves and large, white flower clusters bring seasonal color and texture to the landscape. Their natural elegance softens the challenge of this hole, blending beauty and precision in perfect measure.

Naming the Hole

Oakleaf Hydrangea

(Hydrangea quercifolia)

The Oakleaf Hydrangea is a captivating deciduous shrub admired for its distinctive foliage and multi-season appeal. Its deeply lobed, oak-like leaves emerge a rich green in spring and summer, transitioning to vibrant shades of red, orange, and purple in fall, providing lasting color well into the cooler months.

From late spring to early summer, the plant produces large, cone-shaped clusters of white blooms that gradually blush to soft pink as they mature, creating a dynamic display of shifting tones. Even in winter, the shrub holds visual interest through its peeling, cinnamon-brown bark, adding warmth and texture to the landscape.

Growing 6 to 8 feet tall and wide, the Oakleaf Hydrangea thrives in well-drained soil and partial to full sun, performing beautifully in coastal Oregon’s temperate climate. Around Hole 14’s green, these hydrangeas provide a graceful frame and seasonal charm—blending natural beauty with the quiet precision that defines The Mook.
