Balboa Park Municipal Golf Club Hole by Hole - 5th Hole

Hole 5 at Balboa Park Municipal Golf Club is a 350 yard par 4/5 with a slight dogleg right. The fairway is 31 yards wide and the green area measures 2487 sq ft. There are two bunkers, one of which lies near the green (1% of total).

This hole plays differently based on the season; in the summer months, expect dry conditions that will cause your ball to roll further than normal while winter brings colder temperatures and increased wind speeds that can make it more difficult to hit an accurate shot off the tee. Generally speaking, players should aim for the left side of this dogleg as far down as they can manage - depending on their driving distance this could be anywhere from 250-300 yards out. A 3 wood or long iron will leave you with a mid-iron approach into a large but slightly elevated green guarded by bunker on its right side. In order to score well here, accuracy off the tee is key – miss your mark and you’ll likely find yourself having to lay up short of trouble or risk going for it over water/bunkers!
