Surrounded
by water on three sides and heavily fortified with two large bunkers across
the front, the sheer beauty of the 16th is likely to ensure pride of place
as Capital's signature hole. Great imagination in its design, perfect proportions
and skill in construction combine to create a masterpiece. The shortest of
the par 3s is usally played with a favouring wind. A third bunker, not visible
from the tee, protects the left side of the green which slopes steeply from
back to front. Getting down in two putts from above the hole is no mean feat
while salvaging par from the mounds at the back of the green is a considerable
achievement. Five tees offer different perspectives on the hole but all require
a water carry.
