Signature Hole Comments: The hole around which the rest of the course was formulated, the eighteenth is an extremely long downhill, downwind par 5. At 663 yards this is the longest hole on the PGA tour. Despite its length, the hole is made reachable in two powerful blows by the assisting winds and slope. The fairway and green are large and receptive, yet difficult to judge, owing to the vast panorama and scale of the background. The eighteenth is probably the most scenic, spectacular and representative of all holes at the Plantation Course. Its scale and drama are uncommon and its challenge is within reason, while its surrounding beauty is unparalleled.
