The Cascade Golfer Dream 18

Salish Cliffs Golf Club
No. 18 Par 5 492 yards (White)

We’re a sucker for great finishing holes, and risk/reward par-5s. Put the two together and, well, you end up on lists like this. One of nearly a half-dozen holes at Salish Cliffs that we can’t wait to play again in 2014 (including the reachable par-5 first, short par-4 second and long par-3 third, perhaps the state’s best 1-2-3 combination), the 18th can be as easy or as tough as you make it. Knock your drive past the ridge 250 yards from the tee, and you’ll be in go-zone for the green. Getting there, though, is just half the battle — a two-tiered green makes putting tricky, while water and sand wait to catch any errant chips. — B.B.
