White Horse Golf Club Hole by Hole - 8th Hole

Hole 8 at White Horse Golf Club is a challenging par 5 that measures in at 563 yards from the championship tees. With a slight dogleg right, this hole requires strategic planning and precision to score well. The fairway width of approximately 45 yards allows for some room off the tee, but any shots too far left or right could result in difficult approach shots.

The green area on this hole is quite large, measuring in at 13818 square feet. However, with only one greenside bunker accounting for just 1% of the total bunkers on the course, golfers should focus more on avoiding trouble off the tee rather than around the green.

When considering club selection for both your tee shot and approach, it's important to take into account local weather conditions throughout each season. In Kingston, Washington where White Horse Golf Club is located, temperatures can vary greatly between seasons. During summer months (June-August), temperatures range from mid-60s to low-70s Fahrenheit with minimal wind impact on ball flight conditions. Fall (September-November) brings cooler temperatures ranging from high-40s to low-50s Fahrenheit with potential rain and stronger winds impacting ball flight distances. Winter (December-March) sees even lower temperatures ranging from high-30s to low-40s Fahrenheit with potential snowfall and strong winds affecting ball flights significantly. Finally, spring (April-May) offers slightly warmer temperatures ranging from mid-50s to high-60s Fahrenheit but still poses challenges due to strong winds.

Based on these weather factors and assuming an average golfer hitting driver ~217 yards off the tee box followed by a pitching wedge ~120 yards into the green; we recommend taking advantage of favorable weather conditions during summer months when you can hit longer drives while also having shorter approaches into this lengthy par 5.

However during fall/winter months when colder temps are present along with stronger winds, we recommend taking a more conservative approach off the tee to ensure you're in position for your 7 iron ~140 yard approach shot into the green.

Overall, Hole 8 at White Horse Golf Club is a challenging yet rewarding par 5 that requires careful planning and execution. With proper club selection and strategic play, golfers can navigate this hole with confidence and hopefully come away with a birdie or better.
