Olympia Fields Country Club (North Course) Hole by Hole - 8th Hole

Hole 8 at Olympia Fields Country Club's North Course is a par 3 that plays 226 yards from the championship tees, 197 yards from the pro tees, 175 yards from the men’s tees and 140 yards from the women’s tees. The green area measures 13,204 square feet with 4 greenside bunkers making up 9% of total. This hole can be tricky to navigate due to its length and potential for strong winds across all four seasons. Golfers should take into account their distance off the tee when selecting a club – those playing from the championship or pro tees could use either a long iron or hybrid while those playing from shorter distances may opt for an easier-to-hit fairway wood instead. In regards to approach shots, golfers should consider using anything between a 7 iron and pitching wedge depending on wind conditions in order to avoid running through onto the front of this large green complex with its 4 greenside bunkers.
