The plan for No. 17

The play: A par 3 across an inlet of the sea to a green on a point. Par 3, men's stroke index 13 (74 201, 70 188, 66 182, 62 164, 54 131 yards).

Shot by shot

  1. Off the tee

    Everything carries the inlet. The club: a shot just over the biggest bunker on the right finds fairway that feeds onto the green. Wind off the mangroves swirls (Golf Digest Middle East, 2024).

  2. Approach & recovery

    Short is wet. Between clubs, take the longer one: the green is bigger than it looks from the tee (the club).

  3. On the green

    The mapped green is about 40 yards deep and 32 yards wide.

  4. Watch for

    • Sea (forced carry across the inlet)
    • Dune bunkers around the green

Research notes

  • The green is bigger than it looks from the tee; a shot just over the largest bunker on the right finds a patch of fairway that feeds toward it, and the coastal wind makes club choice critical. (Hole 17)[1]
  • The tee shot is all over water to a dramatically undulating green, and the wind off the nearby mangroves swirls and can change direction at any moment. (Hole 17)[2]
  • The fairways are among the widest on tour but missing them is heavily punished, and the very large greens mean more long lag putts than usual when the wind blows. (Keys to performing well)[3]
