Hole 17

Hole 17 is a great short drive and pitch hole.

Yet another classic short par 4 with an accurate tee shot capable of setting up a birdie opportunity. The green slopes from left to right and has a large swale midway back on the right hand side so hitting and holding the green from the left of the fairway can be difficult.  The best angle of approach is from the right hand edge of the fairway especially for a back pin placement and a draw can eliminate the possibility of running off the green to the right – an outcome which is frequently the fate of the shot hit with a fade. Length off the tee is of little consequence here and, depending upon the wind, many players may elect to hit a three wood or a rescue from the tee leaving a short iron pitch to the green. Depending upon the pin placement there can be a real problem for the player short-sided in the green side bunker, and going through the back of this elevated green generally leads to a five.
