The Hardest Par 5s in Britain
By: Golfshake Editor | Tue 10 Dec 2019
Par 5s can be really hard. The power hitters of today on the PGA Tour can make them seem easy, but for the average golfer, these long holes remain formidable. However, it's not just the significant length that tests our games. Many of the best have carefully placed hazards, whether it be carries over water, or greens protected by deep bunkers. You may stand on the tee possessing hope for a birdie, but ultimately pars are often precious on these monsters.
The challenge of holes can be subjective, but to provide a relatively educated sample, we have studied thousands of rounds submitted into the Golfshake Score Tracker during 2018 and 2019 to discover the most difficult long holes across Britain.
Recording scores from our golfers with a handicap between 6 and 19, who shot rounds between 68 and 110, on courses with at least 25 rounds played within that period, we can reveal 50 of the Hardest Par 5s in Britain.
Let us know whether you have played any of them - and maybe even secured an unlikely birdie!
