Island Green Hole # 16

Hole number 16 is a short par 4 dogleg left with an out-of-bounds guarding the dogleg.  Some long hitters will want to lay-up off the tee with a long iron or a fairway metal to their preferred distance, while other really long hitters may want to "cut the leg" and go for the green.  From 100 yards the green is readily available for a wedge, but two traps in the front and one in the back are waiting for mistakes.  The green slopes from back to front and members sometimes play the back of the green for a backstop.
