Makena North
Hole 5
510 yards
Par 5
One of fun par 5's when the wind is blowing up the fairway. You can get home in two and have a shot at eagle or easy birdie, but you have to hit your good shots. The fairway looks narrow but opens up on the right so take a driver and left it right of the bunker. The hill kicks most drives back into the fairway but the bunker left makes you lay up. Depending on your drive and distance from green, lay up with a mid iron unless you have the right distance for a go at the green. Remember it's uphill and take a one more club and play to the center of the green. Approach is also uphill so take a little more club to make the green. If pin is back left play a little right and keep out of bunkers. This is a possible birdie hole for the long ball hitters.

I hit a big drive and had 202 into the green where I played my 7 wood to 30 feet and made it! Yes, a rare eagle on a pretty par 5. I go three under thru 5 holes!

Best Tip: Lay up unless you can reach the green and play the approach about 10 yards longer. This should give you a chance for birdie.
