The plan for No. 5

The corner bunker and the bunker through the fairway punish different driving errors.

Off the tee

Choose a line and club together. Cutting left can find one bunker; driving straight through the landing zone can find the other.

Approach & recovery

A finish on the right can expose more green depth. Use that angle to land the ball in a generous section rather than beside an edge flag.

On the green

A ridge divides the surface. Decide which side contains the day's flag before judging an approach or a long first putt.

Watch for

  • Inside-left bunker
  • Through-fairway bunker
  • Dividing green ridge

Research notes

  • The right approach exposes more of the green’s depth. — Derek Duncan, Golf Digest (03:40–04:08)[1]
  • The two fairway bunkers punish different errors: cutting the corner left or running straight through. A ridge divides the putting surface. (Official hole information panel; written guidance)[2]
  • Architect Angela Moser says the last green was approved in June 2023 and all 18 holes were being played by September. This supports using the January–February 2024 terrain as post-shaping evidence, subject to spatial checks. — Angela Moser, lead design associate (00:16:00–00:17:12)[3]
  • Pinehurst announced April 3, 2024 as No. 10’s opening date and identified Tom Doak as the designer. Its account highlights former quarry terrain and a hilltop stretch. (Opening-date announcement and Doak quotation)[4]
