Hole # 5

The 5th hole at Wallkill Golf Club is one of the best risk/reward holes in Sussex County. Begin this hole with a set of elevated tee boxes. Club selection is key. A fairway bunker guards the right side of the fairway followed by a line of trees on the left. A good tee shot to the right hand side of the fairway will provide a golfer with an open approach. The further left the tee shot goes, the more the trees will impact the approach. Depending on the placement, distance, and lie, the approach is one of the toughest on the course. With the Wallkill River flowing to the front, and the woods directly behind, the 2nd shot must be accurate to an elevated three tiered green. The front of the green features a false front. A miss to the back will result in a downhill or side-hill pitch to a green sloping back to front. A par is an excellent score. After the hole is completed, visit the Babe Ruth rock!
