Sand Hills Golf Club Hole by Hole - 5th Hole

Hole 5 at Sand Hills Golf Club is a 412 yard par 4 that plays slightly to the right. The fairway width measures 58 yards, with slight curvature and no water hazards. There are five bunkers on the hole, four of which lie around the green. On this hole, players should take into consideration local weather conditions such as altitude, temperature and wind before selecting their club off the tee and for their approach shot. For example, in summer months when temperatures are higher and winds tend to be stronger, golfers will need to factor in increased ball flight distances due to the elevation of Mullen (2133 ft). A driver of ~217 yards or 7 iron of ~140 yards would likely be suitable for most players from either championship or pro tees; while a women's tee golfer may opt for a pitching wedge at 120 yards for their approach shot. With greenside bunkers accounting for 4% of total bunker count on this hole, accuracy is key to avoid potential penalties as well as achieving birdie opportunities on Hole 5 at Sand Hills Golf Club
