Course TourHole 16 
The 16th plays through a chute of very mature oaks to a landing area 15 to 20 feet above the tee. Play the ball right at the fairway bunkers you see from the tee. They are more than 260 yards out, and you probably will not reach them. Be careful not to move the ball left to right; hidden fairway bunkers and a wetlands pond will catch any errant shot to the right.
The approach from the center of the fairway is relatively straightforward, but pay particular attention to the pin location. The green is deep with a significant ridge about two-thirds of the way back. Look carefully at your target. It's no coincidence that this green is the only one on the course with no greenside bunkers--they aren't necessary! Club selection can vary from two to three clubs depending on wind and pin location. Out-of-bounds comes into play both left off the tee and left on the approach to the green. Right of the green, the terrain slopes away dramatically leaving a wayward shot 10 feet below the putting surface and requiring a challenging flip shot to salvage par.
