Par 4 • 295 Yards • Broadview Heights, Ohio

Enhanced Content

Easy

The 16th hole at Briarwood Golf Course presents a deceptively strategic par 4 that rewards precision over power. At 295 yards, this shorter layout might tempt aggressive players to reach the green, but the small target demands careful consideration. The straight design offers a clear view from tee to green, yet the compact putting surface requires an accurate approach shot to avoid leaving challenging recovery shots. Smart players will focus on positioning their tee shot in the optimal landing area, setting up a controlled wedge or short iron to attack the pin. This risk-reward hole epitomizes strategic golf design, where course management trumps distance.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

This extremely short 295-yard par 4 offers a unique strategic challenge - with no fairway width recorded at 200 or 250 yards, consider laying up with a mid-iron to find the safest landing area rather than attempting to drive the green.

approach

The compact 3,166 square foot green (27x18 yards) demands precision on your approach shot - use one extra club and focus on hitting the center of this relatively small target.

tee shot

At only 295 yards total length, this hole is driveable for longer hitters, but the risk-reward calculation heavily favors accuracy over distance given the challenging fairway conditions.

green

With the green measuring just 18 yards in width, approach shots must be precisely targeted - anything offline will likely miss this narrow putting surface entirely.

hazard warning
