Back Nine: 17th Hole

Founder's Hole
202 Yards - Par 3
The dramatic view of the Bay beyond the 17th green sets the scene for the closing holes.

Potentially the hardest hole on the course, this 210-yard heroic par three has little margin for error, being hemmed in by wetlands on three sides. The green is effectively on a peninsula, so it is better to be right than left.

There is, however, a 20-yard approach short of the green just over the first wetland, which can be used to run the ball onto the green.
