N
estled among beautiful Brainerd wetlands
lies the famed Arnold Palmer
design, Deacon's Lodge, named in honor of his
father, " Deek. " The beguiling, par-3 No. 17 was
selected to Arnold's " King's Dream 18 " course
(west of the Mississippi)-chosen from more
than 2,700 holes designed by The King.
Flanked by Lake Douglass on the east, No.
17's large, target-sized green is 40 yards deep,
inviting players to go pin hunting. No. 17 looks
benign at fi rst glance, but closer inspection
reveals two greenside pot bunkers front right,
making the forced carry a tad more challenging.
Beware of prevailing winds (hurting and
from the right) before making any bets with
fellow golfers.
" It decides a lot of friendly wagers because it's
not an easy hole and there are a lot of dynamics
to it with penalty areas and wind, " says head
professional Mark Neva. -Rachel Blauert
