Any guesses? Some decent clues in the description.

At 341 yards, hole 17 is a short par 4 that will have a big impact on the finish of the round. It plays slightly uphill but downwind, and presents several strategic choices off the tee. A longer hitter can challenge the fairway bunker and possibly drive the left side of the green. Long drives drifting right, however, could find the deep greenside bunkers or the large depression short right of the green. Shorter hitters may choose to lay-up off the tee but will want to favor the left side of the short landing area to preserve the best angle into the left-to-right green. This is a great drivable risk/reward hole that provides an opportunity for birdie or eagle heading into 18. Smart decisions and proper execution will be rewarded, but it will be hard to save par if you make an error.

Looks like the work of Bradenton, FL based architect Chip Powell.

Ding Ding we have a winner. A description of a hole at Tiger's new course in Dubailand.


A link to the story -- looks like they describe 17 twice but show a picture of a par 3

One would think with six tees there would be more than two axes of play.
