Players often think the eighth hole, with a 90-degree dogleg left, is a quirky design. A right to left shot between 185 and 200 yards is required off the tee. A slightly uphill second to a false front green is one of the most difficult shots on the front nine. The eighth hole of the Donald Ross course in French Lick, Indiana is a blueprint of the eighth at Kernwood.
A sleeper, dogleg left that appears innocent but has the teeth of a tiger. Draw an iron off the tee to the 150 yard marker. The green has another false front and requires a precise second shot. Par is a very good score. |
