"Thor's Hammer"

The eighth hole also has a totally new green complex and tee area. The tee has been redesigned to allow for the Championship tee on hole Nos. 5 and 8 to be shared, adding 25 yards to the eighth. The green complex is extremely challenging, protected by a deep bunker guarding the front of the green with a slippery collection area behind it. Another bunker and Floyds Fork to the left and a green featuring multiple shelves allow for the most challenging of hole placements.
