Strategy Tips

tee shot

This signature 16th hole demands precision off the tee. With the fairway measuring 30 yards wide at the 200-yard mark, focus on accuracy over distance. A controlled drive to the 200-yard area sets up the ideal approach angle while avoiding the famous 'Jones' Fingers' bunker complex.

approach

From the optimal landing zone, you'll face a challenging approach to a compact green measuring just 3,436 square feet. The relatively small target (22y x 24y) demands precise club selection and committed execution - this is where both birdie and bogey opportunities present themselves.

hazard warning

Beware of the greenside bunkers positioned at 351.5 and 357.1 yards from the tee. These hazards, including the iconic hand-shaped 'Jones' Fingers' bunker, guard the green and punish aggressive approaches. Factor these distances into your strategy when selecting approach clubs.

tee shot

Consider laying up to the 200-250 yard range where the fairway actually widens slightly to 31 yards. This strategic positioning avoids trouble and provides the best angle into the green while keeping you in the ideal scoring zone for this 408-yard par 4.

green

With the green's compact dimensions of 22 by 24 yards, pin position becomes critical. Study the flag location carefully - the small putting surface leaves little margin for error, making course management and precise distance control essential for scoring opportunities.
