HOLE 16

Par 3

HCP M 13 W 14

Get ready for the challenging par-3, Hole 16 at River’s Edge. Brace yourself as this hole is deceiving and demands careful consideration and skillful execution.

As you gaze down at the green, the steep downhill appearance may not concern you. Be cautious, as this hole is more complex than it initially seems. Take note of the significant vertical drop, which calls for going down two clubs based on the distance. However, for this hole, it is recommended (as an example) to hit a smooth and easy seven iron instead of a stronger eight iron. If that wasn’t enough, don’t be long, as it can lead to dreadful consequences.

Your target is the middle of the green. The entire area surrounding the green slopes aggressively to the right, and the green itself falls back toward the tee. Beware of houses and out-of-bounds on the left as well, so striking a balance is essential.

As you prepare for your tee shot, direct your eyes towards the red fire gate on the road well behind the green. This serves as your target line, guiding your aim and helping you navigate this challenging hole.
