Hole 5 at Boynton Beach Municipal Golf Course is a challenging par 4 with a slight dogleg right. From the championship tees, it measures 388 yards and has a handicap of 10, making it one of the more difficult holes on the course. The fairway width is only about 28 yards, so accuracy off the tee will be crucial.
The average golfer should aim to hit their driver around 217 yards off the tee to leave themselves with a manageable approach shot. However, keep in mind that this distance may vary depending on weather conditions and individual ball flight.
Once in the fairway, golfers will face an approach shot into a green that measures just over 5,000 square feet. With water lurking on the right side of the green and three bunkers scattered around its edges (making up only about 2% of total greenside bunkers), precision is key when hitting your approach shot.
Based on average distances for our hypothetical golfer, they should look to hit their pitching wedge from approximately 120 yards out or their seven iron from around140 yards out. Again, these distances may change based on weather conditions such as wind or temperature.
Overall, Hole #5 at Boynton Beach Municipal Golf Course requires both accuracy and strategy for success. It's important to plan each shot carefully and take into account any potential impact from altitude or weather conditions in order to navigate this challenging hole successfully.
