The 18th hole is a 368 yard par 4 from the blues (439 yards from the tips) that plays 2o to 30 yards longer as it rises about 55 feet fro tee to green.  The hole is benched across the side of a hill and has cape hole features with an angled, and uphill drive as well as a green whose back portion juts out into space with the hill dropping away precipitously to the left. 

Looking across from the 11th tee you can see the ribbon of the 18th fairway benched about halfway up the hill.  And, then from the 12th fairway and again from the 17th tee.










From the tee the hole plays into the sun at this time of the year.  The drive is daunting with the pond to be carried, the steep drop off to impenetrable rough up the left side and three bunkers benched into the side of the hill.  The drive calls for a right-handed draw, but how much to chew off.  Long hitters use the large tree as a target while shorter hitters pick a line to the right of that, but don't miss left, it's very penal. 
 





Zoomed in from the tee.




The second shot from the left side to a green that is again bisected by a left to right ridge where the front half slopes steeply down to the front.  It is easy to back a ball up off the green if you're not careful. 




From the right side of the fairway on the second shot.




The green from closer in on the right side of the fairway.
