Hole No. 17
- Name of hole: Pinched Nerve
- Par: 3
- Yards: 223
Named "Pinched Nerve," and you might experience frayed nerves playing this intimidating hole. Shots long or left might find Lake Michigan, if they don't find sand bunkers that sit 20 feet below the green surface. Tee shots drifting right encounter more bunkers on a steep hillside. A large dune jutting into the front right of the green is intimidating, and can stop short balls.
