Kauri Cliffs #Hole 16: Beauty on the green

Hole #16 is one of the most impressive holes of Kauri Cliffs, with unique features in design and giving players many interesting experiences when visiting New Zealand.

Designed and built by David Harman, Kauri Cliffs is currently ranked #39 in the world by Golf Digest Top 100 Greatest Golf Courses in the World. Named “Temptation” due to the high risk/reward design that begs players to take their chances at driving the green, the 16th is a match play delight. The fairway doglegs left with the terrain tumbling even harder from right to left that will feed balls toward the green. The safe line off the tee is just right of the lone tree that protects the corner of the dogleg. The bold play is a sweeping draw that follows the shape of the fairway and catches the slope that generously feeds balls onto the green and yields an elusive eagle putt.
