Upland Hills Golf Course: 18th Hole


The Finishing hole at Upland Hills is a great one. Hazards all around this short par 4 can make for either an easy birdie/par, or a easy 8. Luckily the 19th (watering) hole is located just off the back of the green in case you score high.

Here's your pro tip from Upland Hills Golf Course's General Manager/Director of Golf Rick Parillo:

The 18th hole is your final challenge to your round. The hole measures a short 328 yards, with water surrounding the left side and a large bunker guarding the right side. The green slopes from back to front and right to left. Beware of pin placements, be below the hole.

I want to again thank Rick for his input here. It's awesome that he chose to be a part of this.

One other note from me is to stay away from the bunker on the right side of the green. Any ball caught thin can easily wind up in the water on the south side of the green. Also, if your like me, a driver is not needed on this hole. Just a long iron to get me within 125 yards and I'm set. Personally I think us Sunday Golfers pull out the Driver when it's not needed.

Look for hole 17 next Saturday.
