Fifth Hole - Play tee shot just left of the bunkers on the right side of the fairway.
From there, you need to know your distances. If your tee shot places you where you are confident you can clear the hazard, then do it. If not, there is a risk/reward setup. Playing a layup toward the left is going to leave a shorter third shot, but is tricky to gauge distance to the hazard. Laying up to the right is safer, as there is more room over there, but you’re third shot is much longer. However, the ground slopes down to the hazard, so don’t overshoot.

There is no doubt that one poor shot generally leads to bad decisions on this hole, and the strokes add up. It is a very interesting hole, but not impossible if you stay within yourself and make good shots.

Regarding seven……don’t ask me. A shorter green (why is the pin always way in the back?) combined with no hazard to the right and thirty more yards before the dropoff to the right and behind the green would help. My own personal bailout is “They gotta have at least one hole for lefties who slice.”
