SIGNATURE HOLE 17
This par-3 hole requires immediate accuracy from the tee to find the long, narrow, two-tiered green. An array of bunkers and a well-placed water hazard will punish any wayward shots, and the surroundings can make for some challenging pin positions. This hole has earned its reputation as “fair but tough”.
