Tillinghast very much believed that a golf course had to flow harmoniously from one hole to the next, and the relationship of seven and eight – in spite of the fact that they are both par fives – more than demonstrates his philosophy. After the lengthy confrontation at seven, at the 463 yard eighth the golfer is beguiled by an innocent looking hole that Boatwright observed is below the minimum length for a par five. An avian paradise if ever there was one! The only question is which type: eagle? Surely, birdie. Not so fast. Some will walk away not quite sure why they didn’t score better. The tee shot plays into a sharp upslope. The golfer who elects to go for the green with his blind second shot takes the risk of getting beyond the hole or to the right of a tiny, elevated green ringed by deep bunkers, which is extremely slick from back to front and right to left. Hole locations in the front and to the right are severe.
