Congressional Country Club: Hole 16
The 2011 US Open returns to Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Maryland. Here's your hole-by-hole guide to the Blue course that last hosted America's Open in 1997
Hole 16 Par 5 579 yards
There have been no tee changes at the par-5 16th but the fairway bunkers have been moved down to accommodate for the increased driving distances. At 579 yards reaching this green in two is a real possibility, if the fairway bunkers are avoided. A large green is inviting and the 16th could be the hole where the US Open is won.
