Hole 8 - Par 4




















346 yds / 321 yds / 305 yds

The signature hole of the Roosevelt Golf Course, arrival at this tee welcomes the golfer with a magnificent view of Griffith Observatory. The great view lulls the player into a false sense of security, as this hole is treacherous.

This is one of the most menacing on the course. The hard dogleg right comes at the top of a steep incline, and is well protected by a line of thick trees and brush. Three large bunkers make the finish a continued challenge, with a heavy drop off on the left and back of the green. The danger is getting stuck in a deadly rut betwen the hillside and railroad ties that mark the path to the 9th hole.

This hole has a lot of hazards. The slope of the course is a challenge, though a low iron can get over the brush and most of the way to the hole.
