Enhanced Content

Tough

Trump National Golf Club Bedminster hole 16 delivers a pure test of nerve and precision, demanding a single well-struck shot to find sanctuary on the green. This par 3, stretching 185.0 yards, offers no room for error as water lurks menacingly along one side while a strategically placed bunker guards against a bailout in the other direction. The straight approach may seem straightforward, but the tightrope walk between hazards creates genuine tension on every tee shot. Club selection becomes paramount here—too much and the bunker awaits, too little invites disaster. This green complex rewards commitment and punishes hesitation, making it one of the round's most memorable moments where confidence and clean contact separate pars from penalty strokes.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

At 185 yards, this par 3 demands a mid-to-long iron or hybrid capable of holding a small target—club selection should account for a full carry to a green that offers little margin for error.

green

The putting surface qualifies as a small green at just 4,836 sq ft, so precise distance control is critical; missing the target by even a few yards can leave a difficult up-and-down.

approach

With the green measuring only 40 yards long by 22 yards wide, favor shot shapes that attack the deeper 40-yard axis rather than challenging the narrower 22-yard width, especially when hole locations are tucked to either side.

hazard warning

Bunkers positioned at 201.6 yards sit beyond the putting surface, meaning any tee shot that runs long or is struck too firmly risks catching sand well past the green—take one club less if you tend to overpower approach shots.

tee shot

Given the 16.6-yard gap between the green's back edge and the bunkers at 201.6 yards, players should commit to a precise number and avoid the common miss of carrying the ball too far, which brings the sand into play.
