Hole 17 at Lake Nona Golf & Country Club

Par 3 • 198 Yards • Orlando, Florida

Enhanced Content

Brutal

The 17th hole at Lake Nona Golf & Country Club presents a deceptively challenging par 3 that demands precision over power. At 198 yards, this straight shot to a small green requires golfers to commit fully to their club selection and execution. The absence of major hazards might suggest an easier approach, but the compact green complex punishes anything less than accurate iron play. What makes this hole particularly treacherous is how the small target amplifies every slight miscalculation - a shot that appears solid from the tee can easily find trouble around the green. The key lies in taking enough club to reach the putting surface while maintaining the accuracy needed to hold such a demanding target.
