The Toughest Par 5s in England
By: Golfshake Editor | Fri 28 Aug 2020
Par 5s can be punishingly long or intelligently strategic, the yardage strikes fear into the heart of higher handicap golfers, with better players licking their lips at the prospect of a birdie opportunity, at least in theory. However, there are par 5s that are considerably difficult for all standards of players, where escaping with a five should be considered a good score.
The likes of the 13th at Augusta National, 18th at Pebble Beach and 14th at St Andrews are legendary in the game, but away from those iconic layouts, there are mnay terrific long holes to appreciate, not least in England.
Continuing our Golfshake Score Tracker Stat Series, we studied rounds that have been tracked during the 2020 season by golfers with a handicap from 4 to 23 who shot scores between 70 to 110, with each of these par 5s requiring at least 30 tracked rounds to be eligible as we seek to discover the 20 Toughest Par 5s in England!
