Welcome to hole 5 at George W. Dunne National Golf Course, located in Oak Forest, Illinois. This par 4 hole is a true test of accuracy and strategy for golfers of all levels.
From the championship tees, this hole measures 415 yards and has a handicap of 9. The fairway width is approximately 40 yards with a slight dogleg right. It's important to note that this course sits at an altitude of approximately 600 feet above sea level, which may impact ball flight distances.
As you approach the tee box, take into consideration the local weather conditions as they can greatly affect your club selection. In the summer months, temperatures can reach up to high 80s with moderate humidity. In the fall and spring seasons, temperatures range from mid-50s to low 70s with occasional wind gusts reaching up to 20 mph. During winter months, expect colder temperatures ranging from low teens to mid-30s with potential snowfall.
For an average golfer who hits their driver around 217 yards off the tee, it's recommended to aim for placement rather than distance on this hole due its length and slight curvature towards water hazards on the right side of the fairway.
Once you've successfully landed your drive onto the fairway or close by it's time for your second shot towards green area measuring at over12 thousand square feet! With four bunkers strategically placed throughout this green complex make sure not be too aggressive when aiming for pin placements but rather focus on getting yourself onto putting surface without risking any unnecessary strokes.
With greenside bunkers making up only six percent of total bunker count on this hole it becomes even more crucial not get caught in one during your approach shot as they are well positioned close enough proximity where players must carefully consider their club choices based upon yardage remaining before attempting shots out sand traps!
