Number 8 - Par 3- HCP 17 - Most classic golf courses feature a great “little' par 3. Hole eight is Monroe's version. The smallest, narrowest and most dramatically bunkered, players have been known to “lose it” here. Winds blowing down the ninth hole and swirling into the corridor of pines lining the 8th fairway can make this exacting shot quite tricky. Trying to reach the smaller second tier of this green is an even more difficult and potentially foolhardy task. A nasty chipping area has been restored to the left of the green. A high soft sand shot is a necessity from any of the five bunkers located around the green. A delicate downhill chip from hardpan awaits anything long.
