Pelican Hill Resort Newport Beach, CA Par 5 - 17th Hole - 558 yards The 17th hole on the Ocean North course is an outstanding par 5 with a number of options. The safe play is to favor the left side on your tee shot, as there is a large, intimidating fairway bunker and water on the right side. A risky tee shot challenging the fairway bunker provides the reward to attempt a very difficult second shot over a canyon and bunkers at the green. On the second shot, for most golfers, the best play is to aim at one of the bunkers on the left side and choose a club that sets up an ideal approach angle. The approach is to an uphill green that slopes from back to front, protected by bunkers and coastal sage scrub on the right. It takes three strong shots to score well on this hole.
