The seventeenth hole heads south and plays downhill.  This slight dogleg left is strategically straightforward.  The inside corner of the dogleg is well-guarded with bunkers, undulating slopes and fescue grasses.  The green is framed by a moderately high mound to the left and a low slope on the right.  The fairway wraps around the green giving players who miss the surface with their approach shots a variety of ways to save par.  This penultimate hole is a solid par 4 overlooking McNeil and Welch Reservoirs.
