The par five 8th hole stretches to 513 yards and the tee box offers a beautiful view of the wide fairway. There is a dunes section that interrupts the fairway, so longer hitters be advised. Favor the right side on your second shot to allow an unobstructed third shot to the raised putting surface.
Since the 8th green is uphill and protected by raised bunkers on each side, it’s impossible to see your landing area and even harder to identify the exact distance to the pin. To add a little more challenge, there is also a wide strip of sand bunker behind the green, ready to catch any long approach shots.
