Hole 17
Red Tee Par 3 130 m
Blue Tee Par 3 180 m
Hole 17 presents a formidable challenge as a lengthy par 3, with the Yarra River tracing its entire length on the right-hand side. The importance of a well-struck tee shot cannot be overstated, with players aiming for the center or left side of the elevated green to avoid the risk of shots rolling off down the slope on the right. Playing short of the green is a prudent option for safety.
Yet, caution is warranted as players navigate the approach to the expansive green. Deep bunkers line the entirety of the left-hand side, serving as formidable hazards that demand precision and strategic decision-making. Successfully negotiating these challenges requires skilful execution and careful consideration of the course’s layout and hazards.
