Hole # 8 (back to course map)

This is one of the two new holes at Springfield Country Club, and it is ranked as the number 1 most difficult hole. The hole is a long par 5 that winds through tight fairways and over wetlands to the green. A tee shot right is out of bounds, and a shot left while still in bounds, is very difficult to recover from.

Once you have had a successful tee shot, your second shot is a lay up to an approach deck that is about 150 yards from an elevated green. A shot too far is in the wetlands, and will cost you a stroke. The third shot is to an elevated green, and will require adding 10 yards to your club selection.

The green has two bunkers protecting it, one on the left protects the approach and one on the right behind the green. The approach bunker is very deep and requires a lot of skill to get out of. The green itself is crowned in the front, and provides an opportunity for the ball to run off into the bunker or on to the short grass.
