The plan for No. 16
Follow the rightward bend to the green. The wider lower fairway gives room to establish position before the narrower upper approach.
Off the tee
Bunkers sit on both sides near the lower landing area. Pick the mown center and avoid forcing the ball toward the inside of the turn.
Approach & recovery
The green sits at the end of the curved approach corridor. Favor the middle of the putting surface rather than borrowing room from the rough and trees beside it.
On the green
Read the contour panel before the approach. Favor an uphill leave when the pin allows it, and make pace control the first priority from outside comfortable range.
Watch for
- Lower-fairway bunkers and the wooded edges of the bend are the main mapped trouble.
