Hole 5 Discussion

The tee shot is ideally placed a touch left. The fairway kicks rightward, toward the seven sisters bunkers hiding on the right side.

The second plays up toward the spectacle bunkers. The fairway is significantly narrower here.

The approach plays onto the largest green on the course. The putting surfaces is absolutely massive. End to end it’s about 100 yards across. There are three bunkers short left, and the Hole O’Cross bunker further down on the left side.
