Hole 17 at Circling Raven Golf Club is a challenging par 5 that requires precision and strategy to score well. From the championship tees, this hole measures 559 yards and has a handicap of 4, making it one of the more difficult holes on the course.
The tee shot on this hole will require a long carry over water to reach the fairway. The slight dogleg left adds an extra challenge as you must navigate around trees and bunkers strategically placed along the left side of the fairway. With an average drive distance of 217 yards, using a driver off the tee may be risky for some golfers. Instead, consider using a hybrid or long iron to ensure accuracy and avoid any trouble off the tee.
Once in play, golfers will face a relatively wide fairway with plenty of room for error. However, with water running along much of the right side and out-of-bounds stakes lining parts of both sides, accuracy is still crucial for success on this hole.
As you approach your second shot towards the green, keep in mind that there are three bunkers scattered around its perimeter. These greenside bunkers make up only 1% of total bunker coverage but can come into play if your approach shot is not precise enough. Using an iron or hybrid from about 140 yards should leave you with a manageable third shot onto this large green measuring at approximately 15,231 square feet.
Altitude may impact ball flight conditions on this hole due to its location in Worley, Idaho at an elevation above sea level. In addition to altitude changes throughout different seasons (such as colder temperatures during winter months), wind can also affect shots significantly here so be sure to adjust accordingly when selecting clubs.
Overall, Hole 17 at Circling Raven Golf Club demands strategic decision-making from start to finish and presents challenges that even top-ranked players must carefully navigate through each season's unique weather patterns. With proper club selection and execution, a well-played hole can lead to a chance at birdie or better.
