Club Recommendations
The key to success on Hole 8 at PGA National Resort & Spa (Champion) is accuracy off the tee. The slight dogleg right and water hazards make it important for players to aim for the center of the fairway, rather than trying to overpower their drive. With only two bunkers, players should be able to avoid them with well-placed shots. However, keep in mind that these bunkers are strategically placed near the green, so approach shots must also be precise.
Weather conditions can greatly affect club selection and strategy on this hole. In warmer temperatures or with a tailwind, low handicappers may opt for a longer tee box to give themselves a shorter approach shot and potentially set up an eagle opportunity. On the other hand, high handicappers may want to play it safe and choose a shorter tee box in order to avoid potential trouble spots.
As for altitude considerations at PGA National Resort & Spa (Champion), being located near sea level means there won't be much impact on ball flight distance. However, wind can often come into play as this course is situated along Florida's coast.
Overall, aiming for accuracy over distance will lead to success on Hole 8 at PGA National Resort & Spa (Champion). Take advantage of varying distances from different tees based on weather conditions throughout the year and pay close attention to your club selection in order to navigate this challenging yet rewarding hole.
