If the court order says the father has visitation rights, then the father has visitation rights and what the 17 year old thinks about it doesn't legally matter any more than the 17 year old would be able to get a court to find him not guilty of stealing something on the grounds that he really, really wanted it and couldn't pay for it.

So, yes. The 17 year old has to visit the father. The court can't require him to be happy about it, but they can require him to do it.

Can your father get a court order making you visit him if you are 15 and live with your mom and haven't seen your father in 5 months and he is threatening to get a court order if you don't visit?

yes he can, provided they have filed a settlement agreement with the court in the county in which you live which gives your father rights of visitation or parenting time. If your mom does not allow your father to exercise his rights of visitation with you, she can be held in contempt of court for witholding you from him. If you do not wish to spend time with your father, it's best to explain to him why and usually you can work out a reasonable 'break time' until you want to spend time with him again.
