Hole 17 Discussion

The 17th is an extreme risk-reward par 5. The hole plays downhill, and the wind can help drives. It should be reachable in two for many players, but the second shot brings extreme risk. The tee shot plays straight away, with two fairway bunkers on the left side and another further down on the right.

For players going for the green, clearing these is a must. Getting to the green here means flying the pond short of the green. There is also a greenside bunker short right from this approach.

Playing in three is more straight-forward. There are two fairway bunkers long-left, but the second can be played safely short and in the fairway, leaving a wedge into the green.
