The 17th hole plays longer than its listed yardage, especially given its uphill tee shot -- the only one on the course -- that plays to the north end of the property. “This hole is about creating variety,” says Cam Tyers, noting it has “one of the cooler green sites” at the course.
The green is pinched by bunkers front right and left, and as they approach the green golfers will have a strong sense of the scale of Turnberry’s closing hole.
