Baltusrol Golf Club - Lower Course Hole 17: A Demanding Par 5

The Seventeenth hole of Baltusrol Golf Club's Lower Course is an iconic par 5 that demands precision and strategy. Three perfect shots are required to reach the green in regulation, with the notorious "Sahara" bunker spanning the fairway, necessitating an accurate drive and well-struck second shot to clear. Errant tee shots will force a layup, leaving a challenging 180-200 yard approach to a green heavily guarded by large bunkers on the front and left side.
