The plan for No. 16

The play: The course returns to the sea for its three closing holes. Par 4, men's stroke index 7 (74 420, 70 408, 66 367, 62 349, 54 291 yards).

Shot by shot

  1. Off the tee

    Water runs the whole left side. Aim left-centre: too far right and the big dune hides the green. A mapped finish 224 yards from this tee leaves 181 to the center. Left water 2 runs 199 to 249 yards from this tee.

  2. Approach & recovery

    From the left-centre of the fairway you see the whole green (the club). Miss short rather than long: the back narrows between the dune and the sea.

  3. On the green

    The mapped green is about 56 yards deep and 27 yards wide. The club: it narrows sharply toward the back.

  4. Watch for

    • Sea along the left
    • Large dune right of the green

Research notes

  • An infinity-edge green that narrows sharply toward the back, squeezed between a dune and the sea. (Hole 16)[1]
  • The fairways are among the widest on tour but missing them is heavily punished, and the very large greens mean more long lag putts than usual when the wind blows. (Keys to performing well)[2]
