The plan for No. 5
Keep the short par 4 under control: the trouble is concentrated around the final approach, where several bunkers interrupt the route to the green.
Off the tee
Find the main fairway before the bunker cluster. A shorter club is useful only if it leaves a comfortable approach from short grass.
Approach & recovery
Sand wraps around the front and sides of the green. Plan a shot that reaches the putting surface rather than relying on a bounce through the bunkers.
On the green
Read the contour panel before the approach. Favor an uphill leave when the pin allows it, and make pace control the first priority from outside comfortable range.
Watch for
- A cluster of bunkers guards the front and sides of the green.
