Hole 17 at Boynton Beach Municipal Golf Course is a challenging par 3, with a distance of 178 yards from the championship tees. The hole has a handicap of 17, making it one of the more difficult holes on the course.
The tee shot on this hole requires precision and accuracy. With an average drive distance of only 217 yards for our golfer, using a driver may not be the best option. Instead, consider using a long iron or hybrid to ensure you stay in play and avoid any hazards.
As you approach the green, make note that there are no bunkers around it. However, there is water surrounding both sides of the green which adds to the difficulty level. If your ball happens to land in this hazard, take advantage of your drop options and try to get up-and-down for par.
When strategizing for this hole during different seasons, keep in mind that weather conditions can greatly impact ball flight. In warmer temperatures with lower altitude and little wind (such as spring or fall), you may want to use less club than usual due to increased ball carry distance. On colder days with higher altitudes or strong winds (like winter or summer), opt for more club selection as these factors will decrease your overall yardage.
For an average golfer hitting their driver ~217 yards off the tee and their pitching wedge ~120 yards on approach shots, we recommend using either a long iron (~170-180 yards) or hybrid (~160-170 yards) off the tee followed by another long iron/hybrid (~130-140 yards) onto the green depending on weather conditions.
Overall, Hole 17 at Boynton Beach Municipal Golf Course requires precise shots off both tee and approach while also taking into account varying weather conditions throughout each season.

Club Recommendations
1. Use a long iron or hybrid off the tee to ensure accuracy and avoid hazards.
2. Take note of weather conditions and adjust club selection accordingly - use less club in warmer temperatures with little wind, and more club in colder temperatures with strong winds.
3. Aim for the center of the green to avoid water hazards on both sides.
4. If your ball lands in a hazard, take advantage of drop options and try to get up-and-down for par.
5. Practice hitting longer approach shots with your long irons/hybrids to improve chances of reaching the green in regulation.
6. Consider using a shorter iron (such as an 8 or 9 iron) instead of a pitching wedge for approach shots, as this may provide better control and accuracy on this challenging hole.
7. Pay attention to pin placement on the green - aim for the side closest to you if possible to minimize risk of landing in water hazards behind or around the green.
8. Keep calm and focused during your tee shot and approach shots, as any mistakes can result in a high score on this difficult hole.
Remember that precision is key when playing Hole 17 at Boynton Beach Municipal Golf Course - stay focused, make smart club selections based on weather conditions, and aim for consistency rather than distance off each shot. Good luck!
