Par 3 • 211 Yards • Pikesville, Maryland

Enhanced Content

Brutal

Woodholme Country Club's fifth hole presents a deceptively challenging par 3 that demands both precision and confidence from the elevated tee. At 211 yards, this straightaway one-shotter requires golfers to carry their tee shot over gently rolling terrain to a small, well-protected green that rewards accuracy over power. The absence of major hazards might suggest an easier approach, but the compact target and strategic bunkering around the green complex make club selection and execution critical. What makes this hole memorable is how it tests a golfer's ability to commit fully to their yardage, as anything short or long of the putting surface can lead to challenging recovery shots on this classic Maryland layout.
