Hole 5

Mens: Par 4, 411 yards, SI 3

Ladies: Par 4, 337 yards, SI 3

Hole 5 at Llanwern Golf ClubThis hole is ideal for those who can hit a long drive and a good fairway wood.

The first part of the fairway is level, with two bunkers to the right hand side about 200 yards form the white tees and about 130 yards from the reds. A railway track runs alongside the left hand side and you do not want to hook a ball into the woods on this side. There are trees beyond the right hand bunkers and a straight drive is recommended.

The second part of the fairway is to an elevated green protected by one bunker to the immediate front right and two others further along the same side. The fairway also slopes from right to left. Do not over-hit your second shot and do not deviate left or right because of the severe slope to the left and the right hand bunker.

The green slopes from right to left and from back to front so it is better to land on the green short of the flag and to its left hand side. I like this hole because it give me the chance to open my shoulders and hit two long balls.
