Hole 17 at TPC Scottsdale (Stadium course)

Par 4 • 332 Yards • Scottsdale, Arizona

Enhanced Content

Easy

The 17th hole at TPC Scottsdale Stadium Course presents a deceptively challenging short par 4 at 332 yards that demands precision over power. This straight-away hole tempts aggressive players to take driver, but the small green complex requires surgical accuracy on the approach shot. Without significant hazards guarding the fairway, golfers can focus entirely on positioning for the optimal angle into the compact putting surface. The modest length makes birdie opportunities abundant for those who execute properly, yet the diminutive green punishes wayward approach shots with difficult recovery situations. As one of the more strategic holes on this legendary desert layout, the 17th rewards course management and shot-making finesse over raw distance.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

With the fairway measuring 42 yards wide at the 200-yard mark, driver is a viable option for longer hitters. However, consider a 3-wood or hybrid to stay short of the bunkers positioned at 215.8 and 238.9 yards, leaving a comfortable wedge approach.

hazard warning

Two critical bunkers guard the landing zone at 215.8 and 238.9 yards from the tee. Plan your tee shot to either lay up short of 215 yards or carry past 240 yards to avoid these hazards entirely.

approach

At only 332 yards total, this short par 4 offers birdie opportunities. A conservative 200-yard tee shot leaves approximately 130 yards to a generous green measuring 8,420 square feet - perfect for attacking with a mid-iron.

green

The large green dimensions of 45 yards deep by 34 yards wide provide ample target area for approach shots. Use this size advantage to be aggressive with your second shot, especially from favorable yardages.

tee shot

Aggressive players can consider driver to challenge the bunkers, as the fairway maintains 43 yards of width at 250 yards. This high-risk strategy could leave just an 80-yard wedge to the pin for eagle opportunities.
