The 490 yard par 4 17th Road Hole is arguably the most famous hole in golf.  It has been in existence for centuries in one form or another, which accounts for its endearing quirkiness. Not only is the road in play there is also a stone wall which is sometimes used to bounce balls off towards the green.  Add to the mix a bunker which is more like a bomb crater and it's not hard to see why the Road Hole has captured the imagination of so many golfers.
