Hole #18 at Plainfield Country Club
When played from the back tees, players will have to decide how much of the dog leg to the left should be carried. An uphill tee shot of 240-250 yards will carry two severe bunkers and fescue grass on the interior of the dogleg, leaving a short iron or wedge shot to the green. When played from the forward tee, long hitters can attempt to drive the elevated green 285 yards away. The green complex is undulating and guarded by severe bunkers and fescue grasses.
