Old American Golf Club
The Colony, TX
The par-5, 17th hole at Old American Golf Club presents a clear scoring opportunity coming down the back-nine. Off the tee, players must avoid missing left, with water flanking the entire side of the hole. There are also two bunkers in the center of the fairway.
The key decision players face on the 17th hole is whether to go for the green in two shots or lay-up short of the bunkers and have a full wedge into the green.
Players must take advantage of this hole, with 172 birdies compared to 29 bogeys throughout the week in 2019. Being aggressive should pay off for players going for the green, as long as there is no head wind.
