Torrey Pines Golf Club ' North Course ' Hole by Hole - 16th Hole

Hole 16 at Torrey Pines Golf Club's North Course is a par 4, measuring 338 yards from the Championship tees and 314 yards from the Women's tees. It has a slight dogleg left with an approximate fairway width of 28 yards. This hole can be challenging due to its length and three greenside bunkers, which account for 2% of the green area. The local weather in La Jolla across all four seasons should be taken into consideration when playing this hole; altitude, temperature and wind may affect ball flight conditions significantly. A good tee shot here should favor the right side of the fairway so that players can have a better angle on their approach shot to avoid any obstacles in front of them. For those playing off the Championship tees, consider hitting your driver around 217 yards or less to stay in play while still having enough distance for your approach shot. Players off other tees may need to hit longer clubs such as 7 iron or hybrid for their tee shots depending on how far they usually hit each club; if you are able to reach within 140-120 yard range with one of these clubs then it might be more advantageous than hitting driver since you will have better control over your ball flight direction and accuracy when facing into winds or slopes on this hole.
