Hole 17 at Calusa Lakes Golf Club is a challenging par 4 that requires accuracy and strategy to score well. Located in Nokomis, Florida, this hole plays at a distance of 378 yards from the Championship tees with a slight dogleg left. The tee shot must be carefully placed to avoid the water on the left side of the fairway.
The average golfer should aim for a drive of approximately 217 yards off the tee, leaving them with an approach shot of around 161 yards. With no bunkers on this hole, there are no hazards to worry about when approaching the green.
However, golfers should keep in mind that wind conditions can greatly affect their ball flight on this hole. During windy seasons such as fall and winter, it may be wise to club down and play more conservatively off the tee to ensure staying in play and avoiding any potential hazards.
For those who prefer using irons off the tee or have trouble controlling their driver, playing towards the right side of fairway will provide a safer route but will leave them with a longer approach shot into one of Calusa Lakes' smaller greens (6510 sq ft).
When considering club selection for your approach shot, take note of your average distances with each club according to temperature changes throughout different seasons. In warmer weather during spring and summer months where temperatures can reach high levels in Nokomis area - you may see some added yardage compared to cooler months like fall/winter where balls tend not fly quite as far due higher air density/altitude levels.
Overall, Hole 17 at Calusa Lakes Golf Club provides plenty of challenges for golfers looking for an exciting round. Keep these tips in mind while strategizing your way through this beautiful course!
