The plan for No. 17
The shortest Gold hole still calls for a committed shot: sand nearly surrounds the green. Use distance control to keep the miss on the putting surface.
Off the tee
Confirm the short number from the actual Gold markers and choose the club that gives a reliable landing distance. Avoid steering the ball toward a tucked flag.
Approach & recovery
Large bunkers guard the front, left and back, with more sand to the right. The central green target provides the most room between those hazards.
On the green
Read the contour panel before the approach. Favor an uphill leave when the pin allows it, and make pace control the first priority from outside comfortable range.
Watch for
- Five mapped sand areas surround the green complex.
