Hole 5 Par 4 413 yards

This 413-yard par 4 favours players who can hit a draw and is a good birdie opportunity. The narrow fairway means most tend to lay up with something less than a driver at the top of the hill that doglegs to the left. Those who manage that will have a mid or short iron into a green that slopes from left to right.
