Hole 17 at TPC San Antonio (Canyons Course)

Par 4 • 335 Yards • San Antonio, Texas

Enhanced Content

Easy

TPC San Antonio's 17th hole presents a deceptively strategic par 4 that demands precision over power. At 335 yards, this straight hole tempts aggressive players to attack the pin, but the small green complex requires surgical accuracy on the approach shot. The generous fairway offers multiple tee shot options, from conservative irons to driver depending on pin position and conditions. What makes this hole particularly challenging is the premium it places on distance control into the compact green, where even slight miscalculations can leave difficult recovery shots. The 17th exemplifies risk-reward golf, where smart course management often trumps brute force in the Texas Hill Country setting.
