Hole 5 at White Horse Golf Club

Par 4 • 408 Yards • Kingston, Washington

Enhanced Content

Challenging

The fifth hole at White Horse Golf Club presents a deceptively straightforward par 4 that rewards precision over power. At 408 yards, this straight-away layout appears generous from the tee, but the diminutive green demands surgical accuracy on the approach shot. Without significant hazards to complicate the play, golfers can focus entirely on distance control and green reading. The tee shot sets up perfectly for a mid-iron approach, but the small putting surface punishes anything but the most committed strikes. What makes White Horse Golf Club hole 5 memorable is its pure test of fundamental golf skills – driving accuracy followed by precise iron play to a target that offers little margin for error.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

Position your tee shot carefully around the 200-yard mark where the fairway is a generous 61 yards wide, giving you plenty of room to work with for your approach shot.

hazard warning

Avoid the aggressive driver play - bunkers positioned at 195.9 yards from the tee will catch overly ambitious tee shots, especially since the fairway dramatically narrows to just 12 yards at the 250-yard mark.

approach

From a well-positioned drive around 200 yards, you'll have approximately 208 yards remaining to a moderately-sized green measuring 4,863 square feet - plan for a mid to long iron approach shot.

green

Target the center of this 30-yard by 32-yard green rather than attacking pins - the compact dimensions of 4,863 square feet reward accuracy over aggression on your approach.

tee shot

Club down from driver to avoid the severe fairway bottleneck at 250 yards where only 12 yards of fairway remain - a 3-wood or hybrid to the 200-yard zone sets up the ideal approach angle.
