Hole #5 "Brook"
Par 3
Stroke 8
A long downhill par 3 with a green that runs away from the shot, the fifth hole is a classic
short hole, with a great view from the tee, playing downhill 191 yards from the blue tees to
a green surrounded by extensive bunkering. The green slopes away from the tee, so holding
this green is difficult, especially with long irons. Shots that don’t hold or reach
the putting surface present challenging chip shots, and require a deft touch, especially
from the thick rough that surrounds the green. Beware of too much courage when playing to a
back pin; one firm bounce can propel the ball out-of bounds!
