Old Course at St. Andrews, No. 17

LOCATION St. Andrews, Scotland

ARCHITECT Unknown

PAR 4

YARDAGE 495

Players must try to hit drives as close to the Old Course Hotel as possible for the best angle to the green, guarded by a road behind and a deep bunker in front. Even from a good angle, the real decision is how to plan the approach. The play, whether to challenge the hazard or to play safe, may be dictated by both the hole location and the standing of the match, which is now at its penultimate hole.
