PAR 4 - 428 Yards

This green is guarded by bunkers on all sides, including the back side, so an accurate approach is required in both direction and distance. Pay attention to the hole location and wind to help with deciding what club to hit.

"This intimidating tee shot must thread the needle through a narrow chute of trees to a tight and narrow fairway. The small green is in the open and is surrounded by bunkers and calls for an exacting second shot up the slight hill. The small tongue on the front of the green creates a spot for one of the toughest pin positions on the course. Behind the green awaits a bent grass collection area."
--Course Architect D.A. Weibring

History

The PGA TOUR supports the Audubon International Cooperative Sanctuary System through its TPC golf courses. All TPC courses are either currently certified, or working toward that status. As such, a certified golf course is recognized for its efforts to ensure a high degree of environmental quality for both people and wildlife.

In order to become certified, a golf course must implement projects in six environmental quality areas: environmental planning, wildlife and habitat management, integrated pest management, water conservation, water quality management, and outreach and education.

The eighth hole recognizes all Audubon International certified golf courses, and the wildlife they provide for their properties.
