5th Hole

Fifth hole view

Features

Considered by professionals to be one of the trickiest par 3's in golf. The green is tucked away into a corner of the course with out-of-bounds immediately to the left and behind. A shot struck left of target or too big is out. Bunkers front left and right collect the less errant shots. The green slopes steeply giving difficult putts, particularly downhill across the slope.

Pro's Tip

The natural contours on this hole favour a shot dropped just short right of the green allowing the ball to run in to the centre. Too far right leaves a nerve-jangling chip over the right-hand bunkers with another bunker and out-of-bounds lurking beyond. Hitting left leaves you reaching into your bag for another ball!
