The 17th Hole

Pro Tip

When contemplating your club selection for your second shot, an extra club, maybe two, is well worth considering.

This is a tough driving hole as it doglegs left with a blind tee shot. At average driving length the ground falls sharply from left to right and a tee shot too far to the right will come to rest either in meadow rough or under the overhanging branches of a strategically located Beech tree. Even a well placed tee shot leaves an exacting second to an elevated green protected by humps, hollows, steep slopes and overhanging branches to the right and sizeable bunker to the left.
