Long
The home of “Hell,” this par-5 must be treated with respect. The most recent tee has been pushed back onto the Eden Course so the drive must re-enter the bounds of the course across the wall. Anything right of the dyke is out-of-bounds.
The “beardies” could catch a quick hook, but most drives will find their way onto the “Elysian Fields,” the high part of the fairway above the 5th. The second shot delivers a dilemma – to try and carry gaping “Hell” or play safe to the left of it.
The longest hitters may reach in two if the wind isn’t hurting but even if they manage it, the challenge continues. The green is like a table-top,
with run-offs short, left and long, feeding the ball away from the cup. Unlike many par-5s in professional golf, this one is no gimmie birdie.
