Our first picture (left) is of the green looking back to the second shot (tee shot landing area) from behind the 16th green.   


The 16th is a short-ish 375 yard par four dogleg left.  The playing professionals will usually play a three wood off this tee to 'position' themselves with a short iron (7 to 9) into this small and flat green.  

Should they pull the tee shot left here at # 16 at Harbour Town, then they will be confronted with the long fairway bunker that is down the left side in play all along the tee shot landing area.


The wind is often in play or across here late in the day coming into this very birdie-able par four hole.

Here is a view (picture right) from the tee box of the 175 yard par three seventeenth hole.

This is how the shot looks from the player's eye view looking into the green with Calibogi Sound in the background water, marsh, and sand protecting the hour glass shaped green.


The wind can often be in the players face or 'obscured' left to right and in or helping and difficult to judge with the tall trees behind and to the left of the tee box there.

The tee shot is into a narrow and fairly long par three green with bunkering front and left, with a pot bunker to the right.  A really badly pulled tee shot will result in a shot into the water hazard here.

Sunday's pin is usually back middle left and brings this left side into play going at that pin.  If a birdie is essential a good shot with high 'shot value' will need to be played in here for that kind of result.

Add some wind this week and or firm greens and this hole is a great test!
