The par four 420-yard fifth hole offers five different tee shots, all of which provide a different look along with different challenges. The top tee box provides an excellent vantage point as we aimed directly over our caddies, who were positioned in the middle of the wide fairway. The landing area for your tee shot is massive, but there is definitely trouble if you find the really deep rough on the left.

The approach shot to the fifth green is directly over a large pond and there is a mound in front of the middle of the green that can hide a direct view of a pin location behind it. This is a big, beautiful and wide putting complex with diverse undulations that work from back to front and right to left. Approach shots that find the chipping area behind the green will set up some of the toughest short game challenges on the course.
