Club Recommendations
The key to success on hole 5 at Panther Creek Country Club is smart shot placement and club selection. With a distance range from 125-178 yards, players should carefully consider which teebox to use based on their skill level and the current weather conditions. The Championship teebox offers the longest distance of 178 yards, making it a challenging option for even low handicappers. The Pro and Men's teeboxes offer slightly shorter distances at 161 and 155 yards respectively, while the Seniors' and Women's teeboxes provide more manageable distances of 149 and 125 yards.
Regardless of which teebox is chosen, aiming for the center of the green will be crucial in avoiding trouble on this par 3. With only one bunker located near the front left side of the green, players should aim to avoid this hazard by playing towards the right side or center of the green. This strategy will also help mitigate any potential wind conditions that may impact ball flight.
It's important to note that as with all holes at Panther Creek Country Club, water does not come into play on hole 5. However, players should still carefully consider any potential wind conditions throughout all four seasons when selecting their club and aiming for their target area.
Lastly, with only a small percentage (5%) of bunker coverage on this green, high handicappers can breathe a little easier knowing they have less chance of finding themselves in greenside bunkers compared to other holes at Panther Creek Country Club.
