East Lake Golf Club provides a demanding yet scoreable test at the Tour Championship, with several holes offering clear risk-reward decisions.
The par-4 eighth hole exemplifies this balance, having produced 55 birdies or better last year, with 73% of those coming from inside 30 yards of the green.
To create that scoring opportunity, players are encouraged to select an aggressive target at the left-center of the greenside bunker, opening up a nearly 60-yard-wide landing area from the water to the rough.
With that margin for error, many players opt to hit driver off the tee, knowing that smart target selection and positioning significantly increase their chances of making birdie.
