The Red House

The 5th hole is a par 5 of 570 yards.

This is a very daunting hole from start to finish.

A good tee shot is aimed at the red farmhouse in the distance.

Trees, a bunker and out of bounds guard the right of the small fairway and trees on the left.

Unless you have a death wish DON’T go for the green in two.

If you have missed all the trouble your second/third shots are to a newly made,  raised green that is narrow in depth but still quite large.

These shots should be more directed to the farm stables adjacent to the right of red brick farm if you cannot see the green as the hole bends left to right the nearer you get to the green.

The green now slopes from left to right, with a large bunker and out of bounds behind and  bunkers front right and front left, very demanding but very pretty with the River Wear running behind the green.
