The 16th is a short par four that allows many options from the tee. Aggressive play down the right will shorten the hole, but the player must avoid bunkers and dunes. The “Lion’s Mouth” green is protected in front by a bunker that divides forward hole locations, so players must arrive on the correct side of this feature for a realistic birdie putt.
Hit the tee shot 180-190 yards from Blue to center the widest mapped first-shot window—approximately 58 yards across, leaving roughly 170 yards to green center.
