Spyglass Hill Golf Course Hole by Hole - 8th Hole

Welcome to hole 8 at Spyglass Hill Golf Course, a challenging par 4 that will put your skills to the test. Located in beautiful Pebble Beach, California with zip code 93953, this course offers stunning views and strategic design.

From the championship tees, this hole measures 399 yards and is considered the most difficult on the course with a handicap of 1. As you approach the tee box, take note of your surroundings as altitude and wind can greatly impact ball flight conditions here. With an average driver distance of 217 yards for our golfer, it's important to choose your club wisely for both the tee shot and approach.

The fairway width is relatively narrow at only 29 yards wide so accuracy off the tee is crucial. The slight dogleg left adds another layer of difficulty as you'll need to navigate around trees and bunkers strategically placed along the left side of the fairway. A well-placed drive will set you up nicely for your approach shot.

Speaking of approaches, there is one bunker located greenside on this hole which accounts for just 2% of total bunkers on green. This means that while precision is key when approaching this green, avoiding bunkers should not be too much of a concern.

As you make your way onto the green area measuring at approximately 8107 square feet, keep in mind that its curvature may add some challenge to reading putts accurately. It's always helpful to take into consideration local weather conditions when gauging how much break or speed to factor into your putt.

For our average golfer hitting a pitching wedge ~120 yards and a seven iron ~140 yards (as seen in chart below), we recommend using a longer club off the tee such as a three wood or hybrid instead of driver due to potential hazards along both sides of fairway.

Overall, hole eight at Spyglass Hill Golf Course requires precision off every shot and strategic thinking. With its challenging layout, this hole will truly test your skills as a golfer. Good luck!
