Kingsley's has no charm at all. Tamarack is a decent hole
John - KC's 16th has no charm at all? Please expound.
The cart path, the superfluous bunkers in front of the tee, that stand of timber, it just looks off. It could just be the photography though. In any event, I don't see a great golf hole here
John -
Those bunkers aren't -- or at least shouldn't be -- in play on 16, as they are designed to catch errant approaches on 15. And the trees are there to protect players teeing off from the blue markers on 17 -- a popular line into 16 is a low, hard shot into the large bowl just left of where they stand. From the back tees (225 yards), this can require a pretty long club.
I think 16 is a very good hole, but wouldn't necessarily argue that it is great -- in fact, for me it probably ranks fourth of the course's five par 3's. But I do have a hard time seeing how anybody who has played the hole would say it lacks charm.
Best, Andrew
