Hole 17
Hole Name
From The Tee #17 Seventeen is a short seemingly easy par 3 of 120-160 yards. But as you figure the downhill, the wind, the pin placement, and avoiding the deep sod bunker on the left, the target gets a little smaller. Birdies can be made, but a good shot is needed to do so.

Hole 18
Hole Name
From The Tee The left side has a shorter shot, but has more risk to get there.
From The Fairway #18 This is a classic finishing hole where rounds and tournament competitions can be turned around. This par 5 can play from 450-600 yards and there is trouble all along the way including fairway bunkers, water hazards, 3 level green, and choices for the player.
