Hole 5

Devil's Elbow

Pro's Tip

The hardest hole on the course. A drive to the top of the hill with either a long iron or fairway wood sets up a long approach to a tight entrance to this narrow tricky green. A very good test of your golf and a par is an extremely good result at any time in any conditions.

Alternative Commentary

Not everyone plays the course the same way as a professional.
Here is an alternative commentary provided by a male, right handed Kenilworth member with a mid range handicap.

Stroke index 1 (even if it isn't the hardest hole on the course) so be careful.  It pays to consider this as a par 5 as a big drive can all too easily end up in the trees on either side or the ditch lurking just out of sight.  If you are going for the par then you'll probably want to hit a draw to leave yourself at the top of the hill or just onto the downslope but otherwise a straight shot with a rescue or a long iron will get you nicely in position.

Although it is not an integral out of bounds, you should not deliberately hit your tee shot down the sixth fairway for safety reasons.

The approach shot is very similar to the first hole, playing short with bunkers at the front.  Give yourself a pat on the back if you walk off with a five or better and if not, take comfort that the holes do get a bit easier from here on.
