#17 I believe.

It is a shortcut. You don't technically have to go that way, but guys this good will do it every time.

The "Road Hole"
That is correct. I always play it that way on my Jack Nicklaus Video game.

It is a long Par 4 and the tee shot has you driving over replicas of the dark green "drying sheds" that jut out from the famous Old Course Hotel & Golf Spa. Your caddie will point out a line, dependant on your shape of shot, over the advertisement for the hotel using one of the letters from the hotel logo or perhaps a safer line towards the church spire that points prominently above the left side of the green sheds.
The attacking line from the tee is to take the ball on the last letters of the word "HOTEL" from the logo or even right of this if you have a big drive. With a carry of 180 - 220 yards, depending on your bravery, the desired landing area is on the right side of the fairway. This does bring into play the Out of Bounds wall that separates the green shed, the hotel garden and the Jigger Inn Pub from the fairway, but your aggressive play will reward you with a simpler approach shot to the raised, thin sliver of a green that has the protection of the Road bunker at the front left and the notorious road behind it. A tough decision is required. It is a blind tee shot and you are aiming at an old green wooden building. This can be a little disconcerting for the first time player. Trust your swing?!
