Hole Seventeen - Par 3/4
This is the newest par 4 on the course for the blue and white tees. In the likeness of the wonderful 4th hole, a short par 4 which can be driven from the white tees by "gorillas" and other primates. However the urge to do this but not do it perfectly can be penalised. It is a very picturesque hole. The river babbles to your right gently curving away ahead as a delight for ear and eye. The beautiful grove of trees along the left of the fairway. A sloping bank running a third of the length of the fairway (formed by nature) pleads to be driven on the fly. Such a temptation can suck in the big noters. Conservative play can equally be rewarded with a short second to the pin. No tricky pin placements can be dreamed up here, but as we said, beware of going long.
