The par 5 on the course is a fitting and exciting conclusion. Playing slightly downhill, it is reachable with two well struck shots. The tee shot is played across Sandpiper Lake to a fairway bordered on the left by Wildwood Creek, which then crosses the hole between the landing areas and continues down the right side. Numerous bunkers are situated above Wildwood Creek, which then crosses the hole between the landing areas and continues down the right side. Numerous bunkers are situated above wildwood Creek to the right of the green, with a solitary bunker guarding the back left portion of the putting surface. The chances for birdie here are high, reaching an exciting finish to a memorable golf experience.
HOLE 18, SHOT 1>>
Hello, I am Matt Dillman head golf professional here at Thousand Hills in Branson Missouri. We have reached the home hole; hole 18, the only par 5 here on the golf course. You really ought to think twice before you rare back and rip it and grip it and try to make that birdie and hit it in 2. It is only 535 yards but there is a lot of trouble up there. What you need to do is just hit it in the fairway off the tee. I am play it down the right side and hope to get that lay of the land bounce to the fairway. Let’s see how that works out. I got a pretty good kick but not exactly what I wanted. I think it is in the short grass.

I reached my second shot here on the 18 fairway. It careened off the hill leaving me with a shot with the ball above my feet. This ball with hook, the only thing that I have to guard against is over hooking it to the left. Let’s see how this turns out. It should play pretty well from there.
