Hole 8 at The Grand Golf Club

Par 4 • 454 Yards • San Diego, California

Enhanced Content

Tough

Hole 8 at The Grand Golf Club is a par 4, measuring 454 yards from the championship tees. It has a slight dogleg left with an approximate fairway width of 28 yards. Greenside bunkers make up 1% of the total area around the green.

With its length and slight dogleg, Hole 8 requires precision off the tee to provide yourself with an opportunity for birdie or better on this hole. Depending on wind conditions and temperature, your driver should be sufficient to reach the corner of the dogleg; however you may want to consider playing it safe by using a 3-wood if there is any doubt in your mind about carrying that far. From there you will have mid-iron into a slightly elevated green guarded by four bunkers - two short right and one long left - so accuracy will be key when choosing your club selection for your approach shot as well as making sure you account for potential altitude changes due to local weather throughout all four seasons in San Diego.
