The plan for No. 16
The 16th hole at The Concession Golf Club stands as the course's signature challenge, earning its status as the number one handicap hole on this Nicklaus-Jacklin masterpiece. This demanding 442-yard par 4 epitomizes the design philosophy of two legends who understood that great holes require both precision and power. The straight layout may appear deceptively simple, but the absence of significant hazards places premium emphasis on accuracy and course management. A well-struck tee shot must find the optimal position in the fairway to set up the crucial approach shot to a compact, unforgiving green complex. The small target demands pinpoint iron play, where even slight misses can leave challenging recovery shots. This hole embodies the spirit of sportsmanship that gave The Concession its name while testing every aspect of a golfer's game.
Off the tee
The tee shot strategy centers on finding the optimal position in the landing zone while maintaining enough distance to leave a manageable approach. Driver is often the right choice for longer hitters who can control their ball flight, as the extra distance significantly shortens the demanding approach shot. However, players struggling with driver accuracy should consider a 3-wood or hybrid to ensure they find the fairway and avoid the rough that can complicate the already challenging approach. Target the center of the fairway with a slight preference for the right side, which typically provides the best angle into the small green. The key is avoiding the rough at all costs, as even light rough can make it difficult to control spin and trajectory on the approach shot to such a small target.
Approach & recovery
The approach shot to the 16th green demands precision above all else. With the green's small size, club selection becomes crucial - it's better to be in the middle of the green with the wrong club than to miss the target entirely with the "perfect" yardage club. Most players will face a mid-iron to long-iron approach, depending on tee shot distance and conditions. Focus on the center of the green regardless of pin position, as the small target leaves little room for aggressive pin-hunting. The straight hole layout means there's no preferred angle, making accuracy the primary concern. Pay attention to wind conditions, as they can significantly affect ball flight on this longer approach shot.
On the green
The small green at the 16th puts a premium on approach shot accuracy, but also creates opportunities for shorter putts when you do find the target. Read putts carefully, as subtle breaks can be deceptive on smaller putting surfaces. The key is avoiding three-putts by being conservative with your first putt, especially on longer attempts. Focus on speed control rather than trying to make everything, as the small green means most successful approach shots will leave relatively short putts. Take advantage of these scoring opportunities when they present themselves.
