Hole 16 Discussion

Note: this hole will play as a 527 yard par 4 during the 2022 PGA Championship.

The 16th is the par 5 that parallels #13. The tee shot is similar, players hitting long drives may end up in the irregular valley along the fairway. The longest hitters may need to be concerned about the large bunker in between the two holes.

The landing area of a second shot ideally plays somewhere in the the narrow gap between the trees. This should lead to a reasonable approach into another well bunkered back-to-front green.

The green complex puts half of the green behind one large bunker which will make some pin positions significantly more challenging than others.
