Official hole guide · Verbatim course-site wording · user-supplied
This fifth hole is a medium-length, dogleg right par four with a very wide fairway. The “punchbowl” in the front of this green is very receptive to approach shots, while shots to the back hole locations can be a challenge. Avoid the somewhat deep greenside bunkers and a good score is possible.
