Hole Description
|
| Number eight is a good par five. There is a lake off the tee on the left generally out of play unless you hit a duck hook (for a right hander). The fairway is framed by traps on both sides, but it is very wide and level so that these traps don't usually come into play. The second shot is planned to go to a valley, the floor of which is 80-130 yards from the green. Poor shots encounter woods on both sides. There is a large trap 50 to 80 yards from the green on the right and another one at about 30 to 40 yards on the left side. These traps collect very poor shots to the green or shots intended for the valley that are overhit. The green is elevated with a large trap in front and very difficult to hold. If you clear the trap, more often than not, you are over the back of the green. The green is severely undulating so that three putts are numerous. |
