The EcoHitch # 306-X7309 receiver hitch you mentioned is a fit for the 2017 VW Golf GTI, as long as it's not an R model, as confirmed by EcoHitch. If your vehicle is an R model, you'd want to use # 306-X7332.

The hitch has a tongue weight capacity of 300 lbs, so you'll want to ensure the weight of your bike rack plus the bikes carried upon it is less than 300 lbs.
