I have played there twice---first time in the summer of 1973, about 6 weeks after Johnny Miller's US Open win, and about 8 yeras ago. If I remember correctly the par 3 8th hole does play slightly downhill. If you go to the 2 pictures posted on the "venue from above" thread, check out the picture on the right. The 8th green is just below the 2 bridges that cross over the PA Turnpike. Look back towards the right and you will see the tee sitting in the middle of some dormant grass. I played it at about 200+ yards way back when. Wish I could hit a high draw 3 wood to the center of a 288 yard green!
