Hole 16 at George W. Dunne National Golf Course is a challenging par 4 that requires both accuracy and strategy from the tee box to the green. Located in Oak Forest, Illinois, this course offers beautiful views and varying conditions throughout the year.
From the championship tees, Hole 16 measures at 395 yards with a slight dogleg right. The average golfer should aim for a distance of approximately 217 yards off the tee using their driver. However, keep in mind that altitude and weather conditions can impact ball flight, so adjust your club selection accordingly.
The fairway width on this hole is about 37 yards, which gives players some room for error but still requires precision to avoid landing in one of the four bunkers strategically placed along the fairway. These greenside bunkers make up only 3% of total bunkers on this hole but can significantly affect scoring if not avoided.

For your second shot onto the green, we recommend using a pitching wedge or possibly even a short iron depending on your comfort level and skill set with these clubs. Keep in mind that temperature and wind conditions may also play a role in determining which club is best suited for approaching this particular hole.
