Hole 16 at White Horse Golf Club is a challenging par 5, with a distance of 568 yards from the Championship tees. This hole has a handicap of 4, making it one of the more difficult holes on the course.
The tee shot on this hole requires accuracy and distance. With an average drive of only 217 yards, it is recommended to use a driver off the tee to maximize distance. The fairway width is relatively narrow at just 38 yards, so it's important to aim for the center in order to avoid any hazards that may come into play.
As you approach your second shot, take note of the slight dogleg left and plan accordingly. A well-placed layup can set you up for a manageable third shot onto the green.
Speaking of which, Hole 16 features one greenside bunker as a % of total bunkers on this hole (12). However, with only approximately .01% being greenside bunkers compared to other bunkers throughout this hole (0%), they should not be too much cause for concern when planning your approach strategy.
In terms of weather conditions that could impact your shots on Hole 16 at White Horse Golf Club, keep in mind that Kingston experiences mild temperatures year-round with occasional rain showers during fall and winter months. In summer months there may also be some wind which could affect ball flight conditions due to its proximity near Puget Sound.
For longer hitters who are able to reach this par-5 in two shots or less - especially those golfing here during spring or autumn seasons where cooler temperatures might make distances shorter than usual - consider using either an iron or hybrid club such as #4 Hybrid if available instead since these clubs will allow players greater control over their swings while still providing enough power necessary when attempting long drives down range towards distant green areas located further away from tee boxes found closer by water hazard areas along both sides surrounding fairway areas.
