TPC Sawgrass: Hole 5

HOLE 5
PAR 4, 471 YARDS
SCORING AVERAGE: 4.110

Front Nine: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9
Back Nine: 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18

The Stadium Course’s longest par 4, and the hardest hole on the front nine, which regularly plays over par. It’s a subtle dogleg right, and off the tee the thing that catches your eye is the cavernous bunker down the right – which is ideally the side you want to come in from.

Many players would probably favour the sand right rather than the hanging lie in the rough they’ll find on the left. The big green is protected by tightly-mown swales, bunkers, bunkers, a waste area and palm trees. This is one of those holes where players will be happy to walk off with a par.
