Wachesaw Plantation East
Hole No. 17 – Par 5 (“Azalea”)
Championship Tees: 500 Yards
4th Tees: 485 Yards
Members Tees: 470 Yards
2nd Tees: 456 Yards
Forward Tees: 415 Yards
As the No. 4 handicap hole, this par 5 offers a challenging warmup test leading into the No. 2 handicap finishing hole.
Hit your tee shot to the right center of the fairway to have a chance to reach the green in two.
If you choose to lay up, note the lake guarding the right side of the fairway.
Either way, the serpentine-like creek separating the fairway from the green offers one of the more compelling visuals in Myrtle Beach golf.
