Hole 16 Discussion

Hole 16 is a par 5, dogleg left. The entire left side is marked out-of-bounds to prevent player from cutting the corner.

The tee shot is a risk-reward between trying to reach the bunkers to get around the corner, but mostly only the longest player will be able to reach this area. Keeping the ball left will open up the fairway at the turn, but add length to the hole.

The green welcomes running shots, and trying to reach in two shouldn’t be severely punished.
