Five — 463 Yards, Par 4
"Fade Away"

The fifth has a slightly new look with Mr. Nicklaus adding a new fairway bunker on the player's right-hand side, which now complements the three bunkers that line the left of the landing area off the tee. A tee shot of 290 yards will be needed to carry the new right-hand bunker. Once the ball is in the fairway, the fifth is not yet over as the green has a bunker positioned to grab errant shots to the right or short and a closely mown collection area left of the green. This green allows for a back-right hole location, which is one of the most difficult on the course.
