Par 4 • 350 Yards • Ivins, Utah

Enhanced Content

Moderate

Black Desert Resort Golf Course hole 5 presents a deceptively strategic par 4 that rewards precision over power. At 350 yards, this straight hole invites aggressive players to challenge the pin, but the small green demands accuracy on the approach shot. Set against Utah's dramatic red rock landscape, the hole features a generous fairway that funnels drives toward the landing area. With minimal hazards protecting the green complex, the primary defense lies in the putting surface itself, where subtle undulations can turn routine two-putts into three-jacks. The elevated desert setting provides stunning vistas while testing short iron precision, making this a memorable risk-reward opportunity in Black Desert's acclaimed routing.
