Brutal

Hole 17 at The Grand Golf Club in San Diego, California presents a challenging par 3. From the championship tees it plays 242 yards with an 8 handicap. With its 9335 sq ft green and just 1% of greenside bunker coverage, this hole is made for long irons or hybrid clubs off the tee. During the summer months, you may find that altitude and wind can make this hole play longer than expected so be sure to factor that into your club selection. In addition to all of this, there is also water in play on Hole 17 which adds another layer of difficulty when selecting a club and plotting out your strategy for success!

How to Play This Hole

Off the Tee

Aggressive:3-wood

Safe:5-wood

Playing Tips: 1. Be sure to factor in altitude and wind when selecting your club, as this can significantly affect the distance of your shot. 2. Choose a long iron or hybrid off the tee for maximum accuracy and distance control. 3. Aim away from the water hazard on Hole 17; if you find yourself too close, lay up short of it with a mid-iron or wedge to avoid any costly mistakes. 4. Make sure you have enough club to reach the green; due to its 9335 sq ft size, missing left or right could mean an extra stroke added onto your scorecard! 5. Take advantage of the low bunker coverage around this hole by going for broke and attacking it with confidence!
