On the course I played today, the 17th and 18th were both par 5's. I'm not sure how others feel about this, but I don't like ending that way - one would have been ok, but not two. They were also just straight, mostly flat boring holes. I think you should be able to finish the last hole with a flourish.

I tend to agree. Usually by the time that I get to the 17th and 18th holes, I might be a little tired, especially mentally. It's always nice to have the last two holes to be interesting in order to help keep me focused to/thru the end. Give me "something"---water, elevated greens, sharp doglegs---something instead of flat landscape. To me the 17th should ideally be a par 3 of moderate distance (say, 157) and the last hole a par 5. But that's just me...
