The 18th hole at White Horse Golf Club delivers a fitting finale to your round with a demanding 435-yard par 4 that tests every aspect of your game. This straight-away finishing hole may appear deceptively simple from the tee, but its handicap-2 rating tells the true story. The generous fairway welcomes your tee shot, but the real challenge awaits with your approach to a small, well-guarded green that demands precision and proper club selection.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

With the fairway measuring just 12 yards wide at both 200 and 250 yards, accuracy is paramount off the tee. Consider hitting a controlled 3-wood or hybrid to stay in the short grass rather than risking driver into such tight corridors.

approach

From the narrow fairway, you'll face a long approach into a relatively small green measuring only 5,639 square feet. Club up and aim for the center of the green to avoid short-siding yourself.

hazard warning

Bunkers positioned at 418.8 yards create a significant threat for longer hitters. If you can carry 280+ yards with driver, be aware these greenside bunkers will come into play on your approach shot.

green

The green's dimensions of 49 yards long by 24 yards wide mean pin position will greatly affect your approach strategy. On a 435-yard hole, expect mid-to-long irons into this target, so focus on distance control over spin.

tee shot

At 435 yards total length with such a narrow fairway, this hole rewards course management over power. Leaving yourself 150-170 yards for your approach from the 12-yard wide fairway is preferable to being in trouble with a shorter but more difficult angle.
