#8, par 4, 394 yards. The second of back to back dogleg rights, this hole complements the seventh by tumbling downhill with the campus as a backdrop for the tee shot. Amazingly, in 2003, Williams senior Aaron Flink drove the green from the tee with a driver that somehow avoided every tree and bunker to end up amidst another team on the putting surface. For mere mortals, the drive has no reason to go too far right, as the second shot plays short down the hill and should be bounced on if the ground is firm. The green is wonderfully sloped from front to back foiling many first time players. An approach or chip that uses the ground contours to slowly feed to a recently recovered back left pin location is great fun to watch.
