5th, Par 4, 455 Yards, Hdcp 1

 
The beautiful subtlety of the design of the 5th hole is much more evident when viewed from this angle.

Essentially, both the tee and green are set at matching offsets to the straight fairway line, forcing the player to be able to work the ball both ways to deal with the hole best. However, the preferred fade from the tee lengthens the second shot, and the drawn ball into the green comes in lower and hotter, reducing the chance of holding the small, firm putting surface. Take par every time and move on.
