Hole 5 Discussion

The fifth is the first par 5 on the course, and can be quite challenging. The first shot is semi-blind, the ideal shot is slightly left of the tree. It plays to a ridge line about 235 yards out from the green. If the player can reach this ridge in dry weather, they will be rewarded with significant rollout, but when it’s wet, it may be smarter not to risk a bad lie.

The second shot plays up to a large grass bunker on the left side. If the player can clear this, they will have a tidy bump-and-run to the green, but ending up behind will lead to another semi-blind shot in. Bailing out right here could work, but the player most then play over another bunker.

The green is complicated by an area in the back that drains toward the right side bunker. Avoid the back-right of the green unless the pin is there.
