Hole number 5 is a medium range par 4 dogleg left.  From the tee you may be tempted to "cut the dogleg" - don't do it.  Any drive to the left will make getting to the green very difficult.  First you have to deal with the two traps that protect the left side, but any shot from the left rough will be over trees to a very shallow green making it very hard to stop the ball.  Playing down the right center of the fairway will give you the best access to the green and help take the bunker on the right front out of play.  The green slopes gently from the back to the front.  (click for full view)
