Hole 5 - Punch Bowl
Overview
The 5th hole marks the beginning of “the gauntlet” – a series of challenging and penal tee shots that demand precision. For the remainder of the front 9, a ball in play off the tee is a relief. The drive is played to a fairway that collects from both sides. A deep bunker lies just to the left of the fairway, with the right lined by fescue-covered dunes. A drive that finds the fairway will be rewarded with a short approach in.
The approach needs to be carried all the way onto the green to cover a steep drop-off at the front of the green, at the bottom of which lies a small pot bunker. An approach missed right will encounter another steep drop-off and a difficult chip across one of the most undulating greens on the course.
