Brutal

The 464-yard eighth hole at TPC Four Seasons Las Colinas stands as one of the course's most demanding tests, earning its stroke index 3 ranking through sheer length and precision requirements. This straight par 4 challenges golfers with a deceptively open layout that demands both power and accuracy from tee to green.

The tee shot plays to a generous fairway that gradually narrows as it approaches the small, well-protected green complex. Without significant hazards to navigate, the hole's primary defense lies in its length and the premium it places on approach shot accuracy. The compact green leaves little margin for error, making distance control and pin position awareness crucial for scoring opportunities.

What makes this hole particularly memorable is how it rewards strategic thinking over aggressive play, serving as a true test of golf course management at this renowned Texas venue.
