Open Course – #2

Pinehurst No. 2's 16th hole presents the course's only water hazard, requiring a solid tee shot to carry over the pond on a direct line. Skilled golfers can aim confidently, clearing both the water and the left-side bunker to reach the fairway with ease

PAR 5 | HCP 2



  • Black: 531 yards

  • Gold: 501 yards

  • Silver: 467 yards

  • Green: 410 yards


Details:  The inspiration for this par 5 was from the 16th hole at the famed Pinehurst No. 2 in Pinehurst, North Carolina. On a direct line, the tee shot on Pinehurst No. 2’s 16th hole calls for a long carry over the pond (making #16 the only hole on the course with water). The experienced golfer, however, should have no trouble clearing both the water and the bunker to the left of the fairway.


History: In the 1974 World Open, Johnny Miller hit what he calls his “best shot under pressure” on #16, a 3-wood second shot to 8 feet of the hole. Miller then two-putted for birdie to win the title in a playoff with Jack Nicklaus and Frank Beard. As a par 4 in the 1999 U.S. Open, the hole was reaching in regulation by less than half the field.
