Hole No.17

The Royal County Down Golf Club Hole 17

Playing back into the prevailing wind presents some new challenges.

From the tee the line is the green in the distance, but unseen from the tee at a distance of 310 yards from the Championship Tee lies a water hazard which the longer hitter must take into account.

The second shot is often played from a down slope to an elevated green in the form of a basin which gathers shots from left and right. Great care needs to be taken with club selection here as there is dead ground in front of the well-bunkered green. The green has severe undulations making putting difficult.
