Hole 8

DD : Hole 8 ; This hole is a shorter par 4 playing into the heather plantings around the green both left and off to the right. There is an existing stone wall that creates a good angle for this hole and pinches the landing area for any player going with their driver. The colour contrast created between the stone wall and the heather planting provide a great setting for this hole especially around the green surface and even beyond on the walk to the 9th tee when players cross an elevated wooden boardwalk over the heather plantation.

The hole requires accuracy rather than distance to get reward. The landing area is quite tight and there is alot going on. There is a slope that kicks the player from left to right on the hole and player that drift too far right will find themselves either in the large bunker integrated with the stone wall or may have their shot impeded by the wall as it cuts into the fairway. PLayer going too long down the left may miss the slope and find themselves in the heather, a shot of around 230 yds down the left side would leave around 110 yds on the approach. The angle of the green open up to approaches from the left hand side, however, the green runs away from the players and with such a long green surface getting close will be difficult.
