The 17th is a very short picturesque hole sandwiched between lateral water hazards. Many golfers will attempt to drive this green in search of a birdie, most however end up going dejectedly to the next hole with a 6 or even more on the card. Play within yourself and use your brain.

The Drive
Depending upon the tee marker location, the smart golfer will use a long iron or fairway wood and aim over the cattails at the corner of the lake. Some players will just 'bump' a 7 or 8 iron at the left edge of the mounds on the far side of the fairway. In either case you will be left with 140 yards at most.

The Approach
This is a relatively straight-forward shot. No tricks, it is all right there in front of you (what you see is what you get). Do be aware of the bunkers behind the green as it does tend to produce some downhill lies. This putting surface generously large for the length of shot required.

The Green
This putting surface in consistent with many others at Hells Point in that it has three distinct sections. Most putts will break towards the water, though some putts going to the back section will break the other way.
