English term or phrase: coming down the home straight
As a perfect balance of risk and reward, the ninth must rate amongst one of the best par-fives in the world. As a precursor to the back nine, this is the hole where a swing of two or three shots can make things really interesting coming down the home straight.

på väg till klubbhuset
Explanation:
'Home straight' is normally used for the very last part of a race or competition. In golf the last hole is (almost always) situated with the green next to the club house. And that's where the very interesting part is: Who’s on top of the leader board.

neutral  Mitch Hammarstrom: Like Lars said, it means the last part of the race. However, I wouldn't use på väg till klubbhuset...I'd say: "Kan göra så att sista delen av spelet blir interesant"...Keep it simple.
