| Scorecard | | | Description: The par 4, 17th hole of the Bobcat is a classic. Many major events have been decided at this impressive and challenging golf hole. As you cross the street from 16 toward the five different teeing grounds to #17 the entire dogleg left fairway and our biggest lake bursts into view. It is indeed quite a sight to stand by the back tees and look across the lake to the green. Three terraced bunkers invite your eye to the right half of the green and two tear-drop fairway bunkers frame the opposite side of the fairway. How to Play It: It is virtually impossible for the average player to block out the vision of the lake on this hole. Most players, who fear going left, aim right and further compound their swing path from the outside/in. Take dead aim down the middle and bite off only as much of this lake as you can. Short hitters can easily stay short of all bunkering and then take advantage of a good pitch and putt. Longer hitters may consider the gamble of a longer tee shot enabling a short iron in for control. Either way, your tee shot is absolutely the key at 17. Take par plus your handicap and happily get ready for one of the best finishing holes in Florida, the Bobcat's 18th.
