Streamsong Blue Hole 18

To see the entire write up go here

Par 4
478 | 453 | 439 | 364 yards

Boo.  I've come to the last hole of the day.  The long par 4 18th.

A majestic panoramic view surrounds you off this tee. Like the 18th on Red, dunes frame the end of this hole.

The tee shot is semi-blind over a ridge in the fairway.  Don the left side a sea of bunkers stretches as far as you can see.  The left is much more open with just scrub bordering that edge.


A beautiful walk awaits down the final hole.  Ahead beckons the clubhouse.

Beautiful scenery abounds. To the left you can see the amazing shaggy ruggedness of the 7th, 5th, 6th, and first holes of the Red course.  To the right is the 1st hole on blue and beyond it you can make out others (4th, 5th, and 6th holes).

Upon reaching the top of the ridge in the fairway, more sand stretches out between you and the green,  A line of bunkers nearly completely bisects the hole, coming in from the right.  These bunkers run across the hole around 100 yards from the green.


One more bunker sits past the line of sand at 100 yards.  This single bunker is probably 30 yards out.  The land here slopes from left to right, including all of the green.

The green is a large circular shape and is essentially level with the surrounding fairway.

A view of the 18th green from atop the 7th tee box on Red.

And one last look as we head back to the clubhouse.
Coming in on Blue I stumbled a bit out of the gate.  A double on 10 after hitting my tee shot left into the sand and then across the green into more sand.  After that it was just the occasional bogey (on 11,14, 15, and 18).  It was another 42.  So for my rounds: on Red I went 41-41 and Blue I went 42-42.  There is some symmetry for you!
