About This Hole
Tee position on 5 will offer 2 very different holes. What may seem a straightforward drive will usually be buffeted by a wind off the left, pushing longer hitters towards the right fairway bunker leaving a longer shot to the green. The savvy golfer will favour the left side of the hole and will reap rewards if they can carry the farthest fairway bunker. The hole bares its teeth on the approach, which is often a mid-high iron into a narrow, well guarded green. The left bunker is a busy beach, with anything left of the sand leaving an even more challenging recovery. Another back-front sloping green will provide a stern test of the flat stick. Anything over the back on a back pin brings a 6 into the equation, whereas once again the flat front of the green offers the best chance of birdie.
