Hole 17 Discussion

On No. 17, the target appears narrow and is fiercely guarded by water short and to the right, with two deep sand areas to the left. Golfers that play this hole even par will certainly be rewarded.

Pete Dye’s Comment: The tee shot is all carry over water, a very demanding par 3 and my favorite here. There are sea oats and big dunes behind the green, which is almost a double green with a front and back landing area. There’s a small bailout area to the left of the green with water right up to the front. The green will call for a variety of shots, depending upon the pin positions and wind.
