Hole #16 - 1895
Three hundred thirty-five yards from tee to green is all that sixteen is. That makes it ideal for a good wedge player—and for a true bomber maybe just a pitch shot. But good short holes usually have the ability to bite back and this one fits that mold. As is consistently the rule at Brooklawn, the greens make the case for the defense. This roller coaster green can generate a few thrills and spills – especially when the hole is cut just behind the false front. From the tee, the fairway rises and bends to the right around a large stand of trees and a bunker complex. From the left the green opens up, but the tee shot must be placed short of another large fairway bunker. The green slopes steeply from back to front, demanding precision on the approach.
