Hole 16: 437 yards
This is the longest par 4 on the course, and one of the most difficult as well. There are trees to the right which are out-of-bounds, and while there is some space left, if the drive goes further than say, 250 or 260 yards, there are more trees and tall grass left. Fortunately, these hazards are spread out quite a bit, so there is still plenty of room to hit your drive. It's a difficult drive, but not unreasonable. The tee shot is blind, which adds to the hole's difficulty for quite a few people. I don't have a problem with blind shots. Sure, it's nice to see where your ball landed, but it would be silly to expect it.
The second shot is usually a mid to short iron, playing up the hill to a green guarded by a bunker front-left. This is another hole where I don't even try to go for the flag. It's a pretty tough second shot, so I like to just aim for the center of the green and do my best to ensure a par. Just like on the last hole, you don't want to miss the green left. There's another steep dropoff, and the bunker can easily get in the way. Miss off to the right, and it should be a fairly simple chip for everyone who can make consistent, solid contact when they hit a pitch shot (This does not include me). The green is once again, fairly straightforward. My Other Blogs
