Considered one of the toughest holes and most beautiful short par 4's on the golf course, the 5th hole is a challenge from tee to green. The sharp dog-leg left demands a well placed tee shot followed by an accurate approach to a green defined by water on the left and bunkers on the right.

The Drive
A true cape hole, the 5th lets the golfer choose his own route across the crystal blue lake to the fairway. Long hitters can play the tee shot further to the left, leaving them with a shorter approach but with greater risk of finding the water. Four bunkers at the apex of the dog-leg catch tee shots that go through the fairway.

The Approach
Depending on the route taken with the tee shot, the approach can be 50-170 yards. From the fairway the green is very accessible but is well protected by large, gaping bunkers on the right and ever present water on the left. The safest shot is to the center of the green but if the flagstick is on the right front, attack!

The Green
The 5th green is divided into three distinct areas, the front left, the front right and the back. Putting downhill off the back tier is very difficult. The back of the green is fairly flat and offers the best chance for a birdie putt. It is generally best to putt from below the hole.
