Our adventure ends here on the Par 5 18th hole, measuring 542 yards from the tips, but only 486 yards on a direct line from tee to green and reachable for many players. Your second shot, if you choose to go for it, is the epitome of a risk/reward scenario as a 6-foot deep bunker awaits you left, 10-foot deep bunker grabs you on the right, and it’s all carry over the lake. Laying up doesn’t guarantee you a safe score either – a timid approach will be swallowed by the 6’ rise on the first 1/3 of the green. The key to finishing this hole successfully is placing the 2nd shot in the flattest spot on the fairway to approach the green aggressively. If it all comes down to this hole, an eagle is as possible as is a dreaded “other.”
