Might want to look at Steve West's analysis of the Idlewild scoring (Post 69) to see how the holes actually rated on Luckiness.

Is there an SSE rating for the 18-hole Par 68 layouts for the DGPT MPO?
I played DGPT layout this year at Idlewild. I was parked under the basket on 17 for a 3. It's not that hard if you play it smart.
Lots of haters out there for this hole. I think the hate stems from watching how the pros attack it. There's a right side gap off the tee (bigger than the middle/straight gap) with a landing zone to the right of the short pin. If you hit that, there's only 120ish ft to the pin for a 3. It's kind of a 300ft layup so naturally many top tier players want to risk biting off more distance. The pros mainly elected to go straight up the gut looking for either a lucky eagle or an OB birdie.
I think it's a fine hole with not nearly as much randomness as it gets credit for.
