Hole #5

#5. par 4 – This mild dogleg left spells trouble on the left from start to finish. On a miss-hit to that side consider yourself lucky if you wind up in one of the three sand bunkers short of the landing area or numerous grass depressions benched into the side slope of this hole. Trouble is abundant on the right if you stray too far in the form of a large sand bunker at the landing zone with heather and OB beyond that. While you’re over there take solace in the gorgeous view of Old Mission Peninsula and Grand Traverse Bay to the west. Your second shot is to a diminutive redan style green complex sporting a hogback ridge that bisects the putting surface from front to back. A steep faced sand bunker protects the front left and anything long requires a precise flop shot back.
