Hole 18

Men's Handicap: 14
Women's Handicap: 8

Hole   18
Par   5
This is a marvelous finishing hole which presents birdie possibilities, unless one is playing the back tee. The drive from the Black tee must navigate a narrow chute and bunkers to the left, ordinarily a mere flyover, becomes a target to aim for, yet too distant for most to attain. Otherwise, number 18 is a medium length par 5 with the end of the hole running uphill to the Clubhouse. As is the case at the first hole, the prevailing wind is left to right and favoring. There are deep bunkers immediately to the right of the green. Putting from the front of the green toward the rear, the ball breaks to the right - toward the Niagara River. Some of the most severe breaking putts on the entire course can be produced on this green. The seasoned player knows it is best to refrain from conceding putts to opponents, allowing them instead to hole it out as best they can on the infamous eighteenth green at Cherry Hill. The nineteenth at Cherry Hill is also renowned throughout the Niagara peninsula, but architect Walter Travis can take little credit for this aspect of Cherry Hill.
