The eighth hole is a short, flat Par 3 bordered by Cheese
Factory
Road and Out-of-Bounds on the left and the 1st green on the right. The
green is guarded both front right and left by sand bunkers. The collars
of the green slope away quickly to rough on left and right sides and
precipitously in the back over the green.
The green is small and generally flat but not without it's own unique subtle breaks.
Playing Tip: Perhaps it is the knowledge that the back of this green falls away eventually to a creek bottomed ravine that leads to many shots coming up short or on the front portion of the green. When the pin is in the back it is hard to convince yourself that that extra club will indeed stay on the green and not fly beyond into trouble.
