Re: Favorite downhill 18th holes

Most 18th holes seem to travel uphill because the clubhouse tends to occupy the highest ground on the site. There are some great downhill finishers though. I am thinking of 18 at Philly Cricket, Stonewall is downhill, and so is the little beauty Cavendish. What are some of your favorites?

Cavendish has a wonderful 18th hole. Despite a drive from an elevated tee I'm not sure it could be described as downhill, though.

Duncan, I remember a little rise that the second shot needs to carry, but isn't the the overall lay of the land downhill, even on the second shot?
