| - You know the term "party on grass?" This is where that term was derived from. I don't know if another place on this planet exists like the 16th hole. Where else can you combine drunken rowdiness with classy golf? Where else has golf legends played on and in turn, decided never to come back again because of this rowdiness? 16th hole, Now, I'm giving 16th hold four stars because I'd give GA of the 16th hole 3 stars but because I'm including Skybox in here, I'm upping it up to four. If you can find your way inside the Skybox on the 16th hole (sponsorships-only), then it's an entirely different experience with complimentary food and alcohol. However, if you want to go to the Open and sit in 16th GA, be prepared for a spring break style day if you go on Saturday and a rowdy crowd on really any day of the week. How do you think the 16th hole earned its reputation in the first place? It's rowdy, it's loud and most pro golfers hate the hole. So go if you want to party hardy or if you want to be in a setting that's not a typical golf one, but if you're going to enjoy a quiet day of watching a PGA tour and you especially if you are coming with children, then avoid the 16th hole at all costs.
PS - I like how they have bleachers in the 16th hole. Remember how rowdy it is though. if you want bleachers and a good view, check out the bleachers on the north side at the 15th hole. That's more family-friendly.
And here's a final reminder/warning...if you have children, avoid the Open on Saturday at all costs. This is not a family-friendly day.
