Golf Club of Houston (Member Course) Hole by Hole - 8th Hole

Hole 8 at Golf Club of Houston is a 475 yard par 4 from the championship tees and a 296 yard par 4 from the senior women's tees. This hole is rated as the most difficult on this course with a handicap of 1, and features slight dogleg right. From all tee boxes, golfers will need to be accurate off the tee in order to avoid 3 strategically placed bunkers that guard both sides of the fairway. The green area measures 9642 sq ft with only 1% greenside bunkers making it slightly easier to approach than other holes on this course.

The weather conditions can vary greatly across each season in Humble, Texas so players should keep an eye out for strong winds coming off Lake Houston which can affect ball flight significantly during spring months. During summer months, temperatures are usually high but altitude remains relatively low so shots may carry further than expected due to less air resistance. In autumn and winter months temperatures cool down substantially and humidity levels drop allowing for better control over ball trajectory when hitting long irons or woods into this hole.

For longer hitters playing from either championship or pro tees, they should aim for center-right side of fairway using driver while shorter hitters may opt for mid iron club such as 7 iron (140 yards) or pitching wedge (120 yards). Players who are more experienced might want to try fading their drive around trees located near left side of fairway while beginners could benefit by taking safer route aiming straight down middle avoiding any potential hazards along way.
