Hole 17 at Crestview Country Club (South Course)
Par 3 • 202 Yards • Wichita, Kansas
The 17th hole at Crestview Country Club (South Course) presents a classic test of precision with its 202-yard par 3 challenge. This straightforward layout demands accuracy over distance, as golfers face a demanding mid-to-long iron shot to a small, well-protected green. The absence of significant hazards might suggest simplicity, but the compact target requires pinpoint placement to avoid difficult recovery shots from the surrounding areas. The straight line from tee to green offers no hiding spots for wayward shots, making club selection and commitment crucial for success. This penultimate hole serves as a perfect setup for the closing stretch, where steady nerves and precise execution separate confident finishers from those who let pressure affect their swing.

Shop Hybrids →Strategy Tips
This 202-yard par 3 demands precision over power - select a club that gets you comfortably to the green without overpowering it, as there's no fairway to bail out to.
Aim for the center of this compact 2,552 square foot green (19y x 23y) - the relatively small target leaves little margin for error on your approach shot.
Avoid going long at all costs - bunkers positioned 287.7 yards from the tee will catch any shot that flies the green, making recovery extremely difficult.
With the green measuring just 19 yards by 23 yards, club selection is critical - take one less club and swing smoothly rather than risk flying this small target.
This par 3 is ideal for working on your long iron or hybrid. Launch monitors from $600 let you practice this exact shot with real course data from home.
