PGA National Resort and Spa 'The Haig Course' Hole by Hole - 17th Hole

Welcome to hole 17 at the PGA National Resort and Spa 'The Haig Course' in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. This is a par 5 that measures 532 yards from the championship tees and has a handicap of 4, making it one of the more challenging holes on the course.

As you approach this hole, you will notice its slight dogleg left shape. The fairway width is approximately 31 yards, so accuracy off the tee will be crucial in order to avoid any potential hazards. Speaking of hazards, there are five bunkers strategically placed throughout this hole to challenge even the most skilled golfer.

One thing to keep in mind when playing this hole is that there is water present near the green area. So for your second shot, be sure to take into account both distance and wind conditions before deciding on your club selection.

Speaking of clubs, let's make some recommendations based on your average distances: For your tee shot, I would recommend using a driver which should put you around 217 yards from the green. From here, you can use a combination of long irons or fairway woods depending on how far you hit them accurately. Keep in mind that with an approximate elevation above sea level of about 9 feet and temperatures ranging from low-70s in winter up to mid-90s during summer months may impact ball flight conditions slightly.

For your approach shot onto the green which measures at approximately 6694 square feet (not too large), I would suggest using either a seven iron (~140 yards) or pitching wedge (~120 yards). These clubs should give you enough control and precision while factoring in any possible wind conditions as well as altitude differences between seasons.

Finally, it's worth noting that although there are only two percent greenside bunkers out here (1% total bunker count), they are strategically placed near where many golfers tend not play their shots - so be sure to avoid them at all costs! Good luck and happy golfing.
