564 Yards Par 5
This 564-yard hole can trigger nightmares. It’s guarded by nine bunkers that cover 2/3 of an acre with a lake on the right that runs the entire length of the hole. A precise tee shot is required to sneak between the first two bunkers only 24 yards apart. Long hitters will be tempted to go for the green in two, but it will take a 240 yard shot into a narrow green that registers 11-12 in the stimp meter and slopes sharply toward the water.
