5

It is often said that the golf course starts at Hole 5, a difficult and long par four that is the number one handicap hole from the blue tees, where your tee shot needs to carry 250 yards to get over the hill and give you a reasonable second shot on this 453 yard hole. The woods on the left side are friendly and most times return a tee shot hit into them. However, the woods on the right are a lateral hazard from which good things rarely happen. So favor the left side. Even after a successful tee shot your approach has to clear a deep bunker on the left to this challenging green. Then once on the green, you may be surprised by its difficulty. It is probably the second most difficult green on the golf course due to its subtle breaks.
