The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7309 is the correct 2" receiver for your 2017 VW Golf. I recommend installing the 4-Way # 118646 when you install the receiver. This will allow you to connect to the lights on most small trailers or use Auxiliary Lights # C53201 with a hitch mounted accessory.
