If you are looking for a reason to get out and golf Hillcrest Country Club, you have found it on Sanctuary's Hole No. 18. The 575-yard par 5 finishing hole is a classic risk reward golf hole. The chance to make an eagle or birdie is very tempting, but if not careful, a double bogey is very possible. A narrow landing area is guarded by a bunker on the right and on the left is a very treacherous wash; a well-placed drive will be rewarded with a chance to reach the green in two.
The player who can manage this dogleg left, split fairway, up-hill par 5 is usually rewarded with a birdie opportunity.
