When playing the 18th hole, if a ball is in the penalty area directly in front of the men’s tee box on the 18th hole, including when it is known or virtually certain that a ball that has not been found came to rest in the penalty area, the player has these relief options, each for one penalty stroke:

§   As an extra option, drop the original ball or another ball in the dropping zone. The dropping zone is the area marked by ground staff adjacent to the ladies’ tees box.  The ball is to be dropped in accordance with the rules of golf and not teed-up. The dropping zone is a relief area under Rule 14.3.
