Red Course - Hole 5

Red Course - 5th Hole

Par 4

Stroke Index: Ladies 13, Men 13

The 5th hole is a superb shot par four with many tee shot options. Do you have a go at the green, or lay-up shot of the three bunkers? Or do you try and thread one down the gap in the fairway between the bunkers and the deep rough and trees that protect the left side of the hole? Get it right and the birdie could be yours. Get it wrong and the bunkers and sloping green could present all sorts of problems.

Pro Advice

The 5th green has some severe slopes to contend with. When the green is quick, which it often is, you will need to leave yourself in an uphill or flat putt, so take extra care with your clubbing.
