I've not played all, or even most of the Execs, but hole #5 on El Diablo certainly lives up to the name. Not overly long (172 yards from the back tee) but there is nothing much between the tee and green but what can be best described as a shallow crater with swamp (more or less) on the right extending to the middle, to an elevated green. Hitting the green with your tee shot is not only essential for a good score on that hole but once there it has to stay put: the green is pretty narrow with a VERY steep hill in back with trees and brush, and ( depending on how far over your ball goes) water.
