Hole 16 at Crestview Country Club (South Course)
Par 4 • 383 Yards • Wichita, Kansas
The 16th hole at Crestview Country Club's South Course presents a deceptively straightforward par 4 that demands precision over power. At 383 yards, this straight-away layout appears generous from the tee, but the compact green complex quickly reveals the hole's true challenge. The absence of major hazards shifts focus entirely to approach shot accuracy, as the small putting surface offers little margin for error.

Exercise extreme caution off the tee - the fairway completely disappears at 200 yards, creating a forced carry situation that demands precise distance control and accuracy.
Plan your tee shot to carry beyond 250 yards where the fairway opens to 24 yards wide, giving you a reasonable landing area for your approach shot.
Be aware of bunkers positioned at 157.9 yards from the tee - while short of the main landing area, these can catch poorly struck tee shots or conservative layups.
With the hole playing 383 yards total and needing to reach the 250-yard mark, expect a mid-to-short iron approach of roughly 130 yards into the green.
Target the center of this moderately-sized green measuring 18 by 28 yards - at 3,339 square feet, it offers a decent target but rewards precision over aggressive pin-hunting.
This 383-yard par 4 is ideal for working on your driver accuracy. Launch monitors from $600 let you practice this exact shot with real course data from home.
