Par 4404 Yards • Scottsdale, Arizona

Enhanced Content
Challenging

The 17th hole at Pinnacle Peak Country Club presents a deceptively straightforward par 4 that demands precision over power. This 404-yard challenge features a straight layout that invites aggressive play, but the small green complex serves as the hole's primary defense. With minimal hazards to navigate, golfers can focus on course management and approach shot accuracy. The tee shot plays to a generous fairway, allowing players to select their preferred angle of attack. However, the compact putting surface requires a well-struck approach shot with proper distance control. As one of the course's more strategic holes with a handicap rating of 8, this straightaway test rewards golfers who can execute under pressure while setting up crucial scoring opportunities late in the round.
