Landings Club, The (Deer Creek) Hole by Hole - 8th Hole

Distance and Club Selection:

For a low handicapper, the Championship teebox at 202 yards will require a long iron or hybrid to reach the green. With their distance advantage off the tee, they may be able to attack this hole with more aggression and aim for a birdie or even an eagle opportunity. The Pro teebox at 175 yards will also require a long iron or possibly a fairway wood for the low handicapper. For mid-handicappers, the Men's teebox at 154 yards is still a challenging distance that may require anywhere from a mid-iron to fairway wood depending on their individual club distances. High handicappers should consider using their most reliable club from the Seniors' tees at 146 yards.

Aim for Center of Green:

With water and one bunker present on this par 3, it is crucial for all players to aim towards the center of the green rather than trying to hit it close to any flagstick placements near trouble areas. This strategy allows for some margin of error in case of mishits and minimizes risk while still providing an opportunity for success.

Weather Considerations:

In Savannah, Georgia where Landings Club (Deer Creek) is located, weather can play a significant role in ball flight conditions throughout different seasons. In warmer months with higher temperatures and humidity levels, balls tend to fly further due to less air resistance. However, during cooler months with lower temperatures and windier conditions, shots may not travel as far as expected.

Bunkers on Green:

The small percentage (9%) of bunker coverage on this green means that most players do not need to worry about landing in bunkers when aiming towards center of green strategies mentioned above. However, if players are feeling confident enough with their short game skills around greenside bunkers or have comfortable yardages from fairway bunkers off these tees then they could potentially take more aggressive lines towards certain flagstick placements.
