Hole 17 Information

A highly strategic risk and reward par 4 along a scenic wetland strengthening the finish of yet another memorable round at Glenelg Golf Club.

One of the widest fairways on the golf course with a slight dog-leg left around an inside left wetland should not be taken lightly. Positioned in the middle of the fairway is a deep reverted bunker bisecting a well-placed left fairway position from a poor right fairway position. Once again, the architects are asking you to hug the water’s edge and you’ll be rewarded with a perfectly set up second shot. If you find yourself on the right side of the fairway, you’ll notice the green side bunkers on the right now must be negotiated for most of pin positions on this green, while the cross angle becomes stronger and more challenging.

A deep and undulating green with some raised difficult front pins help create an added challenge for an aerial versus run up approach onto this putting surface. A miss mid-left of the green is not a bad leave if you’re trying to avoid the heavily bunkered right surrounds. The deep hybrid bunker back right of the green could take prisoners if there is a back right pin location so contemplate how brave you want to be before heading to your final hole.
