17th Hole – "Island Green" at TPC Sawgrass (Stadium Course), Florida, USA
This short par-3 features a green almost entirely surrounded by water, challenging golfers' precision and nerve.
Precision Under Pressure: Conquering the Island Green at TPC Sawgrass
Few holes in golf stir the nerves like the 17th at TPC Sawgrass. Known as the “Island Green,” this iconic par-3 stretches just 137 yards—but what it lacks in distance, it more than makes up for in drama. Surrounded almost entirely by water, the target is small, the wind is unpredictable, and the margin for error is razor thin. It’s the kind of hole where confidence must be earned, and one well-struck shot can make a memory for life.

Design Yours → Add to CartWhat makes the 17th especially challenging is the mental weight it carries. The green’s shape and placement force players to fully commit to their club selection and swing tempo. Anything tentative often ends in a splash. But even after navigating the tee shot, the test isn't over. The green’s subtle slopes and quick pace require absolute focus to sink that all-important birdie—or save par.
