The 25 best finishing holes in golf

Which No. 18s are the best? The argument can very much teeter on the objective vs. subjective, so let’s see how these compare to your list.

Royal Lytham & St. Annes Golf Club

(Royal Lytham & St. Annes Golf Club)

Though it’s not the longest of finishing holes on this list, the 18th at Royal Lytham & St. Annes Golf Club is one of the most breathtaking. Like Oakmont, the 18th’s backdrop is the iconic clubhouse, the same that would have been the setting when Tony Jacklin won The Open there in 1969. And don’t be fooled by the distance – as almost expected, the par 4 is littered with bunkers, two sets of them diagonally cut across the fairway, making for a tedious tee shot.
