History
Every fine golf course must have a par 4 that is way-to-hell-and-gone from the tee. Here at G.C.I., #5 is just that and justifiably is handicapped #1. Coming out of this natural chute of huge trees, it demands both distance and direction on your drive and second shot. The fairway traps were moved to the right a few yards and flattened to make it a bit less severe.

Requirements:
Long drive with slight draw being rewarded. Good second shot (generally a wood) if drive is short of traps. Green is one of the easiest to putt, but is 3 or 4 clubs deep, thereby asking good judgment on second.

Difficulties:
Long and uphill all the way. Two hooks will get you in the water twice. A slice will get you on #2 fairway, if it somehow misses the big tree by the bridge. Traps are big and deep.

Suggestions:
Smoke your tee-ball 280 yards. If you don't keep, your next shot to the right of the second lake.

Observations:
Make par and the day will be sunnier; make "bird" and your jokes will be funnier - to you at least.
