Hole #8
{loadposition blue} Blue Course, Hole 8524 yard par 5. The first of two double dogleg par fives on the Blue course, number eight is another high risk/high reward hole. Carved out of the surrounding woods, the tee rests on the end of ridge that drops away sharply to the left and the front. The pond from number seven extends to the base of the tee, while the fairway rises sharply from the pond to the apex of a broad ridge, which comprises the tee shot landing area. A bunker beneath the ridge guards the left side of the fairway, while a line of tall trees along the top of the ridge makes cutting the corner off the tee a challenge. Two large mounds comprise the hole’s right boundary. A number of trees and a second pond to the right of the green protects against cutting the second (right) dogleg. The large green slopes severely from back to front. Tips from the Pro |
