Hole #18 - The homeward hole is not only one of the most challenging holes on the course, it is one of the toughest finishing holes in the Carolina’s. The tee shot requires a keen sense of how the crosswinds will affect your ball flight. The right side of the hole is big trouble the entire length of the hole. Your tee shot should be placed down the left center of the fairway, avoiding the fairway bunker and abrupt slope on the right side of the fairway. However, if you over-cook your ball too far down the left side, a small grove of tall trees will leave your approach shot blocked out. After finding the fairway, the fun now begins. The length of the approach shot and the prevailing left to right wind will seem to make it impossible. The bunkers and vertical native bank on the right side of the green will intimidate even the most seasoned golfer. But, keep your chin up, there is a bright side. Keeping the ball left on your approach will funnel it onto the putting surface to a gently sloped green which will yield many holed putts. Left, short and a bit long are all good misses on #18. Anything but right!
