Holston Hills Country Club Hole by Hole - 17th Hole

Low Handicapper:

As a low handicapper, you have the distance and skill to take advantage of this par 5 hole at Holston Hills Country Club. With no water hazards and only four bunkers, your main focus should be on aggressive play to reach the green in two shots. During warmer seasons when altitude and temperature may impact ball flight conditions, you can use that to your advantage by taking a more aggressive line off the tee. The slight dogleg left allows for a fade shot shape, which can add extra distance to your drive.

Mid Handicapper:

For mid handicappers playing from the Men's tee box at 494 yards, this par 5 hole offers an opportunity for birdie with strategic play. While there are no water hazards or fairway bunkers to worry about, it is important to avoid the four greenside bunkers around the green area measuring 9181 sq ft. With a slight dogleg left and relatively wide fairway width of 40 yards, aim for accuracy rather than distance off the tee. This will set you up for a manageable approach shot towards the green.

High Handicapper:

As a high handicapper playing from either Seniors' or Women's tee boxes at shorter distances of 462 and 455 yards respectively, this par 5 hole presents its own challenges. Your main goal should be avoiding mistakes such as hitting into one of the four greenside bunkers or getting too aggressive with your approach shot towards the large green area measuring over 9000 sq ft. Focus on making solid contact off the tee and laying up strategically before attempting any risky shots towards reaching this challenging but rewarding green in regulation.
