Ballyowen Golf Club Hole by Hole - 17th Hole

Hole 17 at Ballyowen Golf Club in Hamburg, New Jersey is a challenging Par 5 from the Championship tees measuring 520 yards. The Pro tees measure 490 yards, Men's 475 yards, Seniors' 425 yards and Women's 357 yards. With a slight dogleg left and an approximate fairway width of 52 yards, this hole requires accuracy off the tee to set up a good approach shot into the 18148 sq ft green. Greenside bunkers make up 2% of total bunker count (9) so careful consideration should be given when selecting your club for the approach shot. During summer months in New Jersey temperatures can get hot with humidity levels higher than normal which could cause ball flights to go further than expected while altitude remains relatively consistent throughout all four seasons making wind conditions more influential on ball flight direction and distance depending on seasonality. A driver hit around 217 yards will likely leave you between 200-225 out after your second shot leaving you with roughly 7 iron or pitching wedge range for your third shot into this large green complex.
