HOLE #18 - Par 5

Homeward Passage

SGCC’s finishing hole parallels number nine and again offers views of the Salinas Valley. The fairway slopes downhill resulting in the possibility of another long tee shot. The large conjoined green is somewhat reachable in two with good fairway wood play, however, the fairway narrows 100 yards out between the eucalyptus on the right and a fairway bunker on the left. A wide bunker and out of bounds wait behind the green so don’t be too aggressive with your approach. For the average player, a well placed lay up leaves a very short third shot for an easy par before heading to the 19th hole to tally up the scorecard.
