Eighteen — 547 Yards, Par 5
"Gahm Over"

The 18th has proven to be a great finishing hole time and again with playoff finishes in the 78th & 82nd PGA Championships as well as the down-to-the-wire finish in the 65th Senior PGA Championship. This par 5 has a large fairway bunker to the left of the landing zone and a spectacular water feature on the right. This hole has remained mostly unchanged with the exception of a new greenside bunker just off the left of the green. The existing bunker guarding the entire front portion of the green will remain a factor. The green itself has remained nearly the same with only some re-contouring of the slopes that run from the upper portion of the green down to the left and right lower levels.
