Built within Bermuda’s naturally occurring landscape, the Mid-Ocean Club has welcomed thousands of golfers since it opened in 1921. Subtlety enhanced by Robert Trent Jones in 1957, the course still utilizes the island’s rolling terrain and natural hazards. The fifth hole is an old favorite because its features make it beautiful, unpredictable and always a little tricky. PGA Golf Professional Kevyn Cunningham hits the links with Keith Pearman, a Golf Pro Emeritus at the Mid-Ocean Club, to show us the windswept fifth hole.

This par 4 is C-shaped, with a raised tee that makes the 402-yard hole play shorter than it seems. Featuring a water hazard to the left and a steep shelf to the right, players must bank their shots with billiards-style angles. The contrast of the bordering flat lake with the tree-lined embankment causes wind patterns to vary from day to day (and even hour to hour), which keeps even experienced golfers on their toes. The way to master this hole is to keep your drive low and right so your ball is out of the wind and away from the water. The green is surrounded by bunkers, but if you play the fairway well, you can line up a straight approach shot. Challenging and picturesque, there’s a reason this hole is loved by amateurs and pros alike.
