Description: 
The par 5 eighteenth is a great finishing hole of the Lemuria Resport Course on Praslin, Seychelles. The hole is a dogleg right, wrapped around a large lake. The vista from the tee is breathtaking (see picture below)! Even though the hole is relatively short for a par 5 with such elevated tees, only a very well struck and properly placed tee shot will put a player in a solid position to go for the green in two. Due to the elevation of the tees the player gets reminded to hole 15, the signature hole of the course with a 50-metres drop to the green. The fairway is quite narrow and on the left there is a lake and on the right there are huge Takamaka trees. The green is protected left front by two sand bunkers and on the other three sides by the lake.
