Hole #17

209 yard par 3. The Blue course’s last par three, number 17 is carved out of the trees. The green and tee are separated by a substantial valley. The green is guarded by bunkers on the left and in back. The sand on the left front of the green will keep shots hit to the left from going in the woods. The green has two distinct tiers, the lower tier comprising the front third of the green.

Tips from the Pro
Play the full distance off the tee as this hole is deceptively long. Landing your tee shot on the same tier as the pin is critical, as putting from one tier to another is a frightening experience – especially from back to front. In general, being short on this hole is less penal than being long. The double tier green makes putting a challenge. It is very easy to putt off the green if your long of the hole and the pin is on the lower tier.
