Hole 5 Discussion

The “Berry Box” was affectionately named for the Kelseyville High School golf coach, John Berry, to acknowledge his commitment to youth golf in Lake County. (This is the upper tee box). Heavy hitters blast away and keep it in the fairway close to the trees on the right side. We mention the trees because even though this fairway is right in front of the golfer, quite often the shot lands in the trees or in the first fairway. This means that your second shot must be either a punch shot out of the trees or entirely over the trees and back onto the fairway. Needless to say, the best shot is on the right side of the fairway, left of the trees. However, if you pull the ball too far to the left, please be aware of the creek. If you’re short of the creek on the left, it will take a lay-up shot to the center of the fairway so that you leave yourself with a clear shot to the green. Some golfers have gone over the trees on the left at the corner and there are also some who have missed. There is a creek on the left, a tributary across the fairway and a lake on the right side and rear of green. Occasionally an errant ball may land in one of these water areas. On the left and rear of the green there are sand traps. If by chance you hit one, please rake as you leave. This is another generous green which has a slight height adjustment running north and south.
