The green is much longer than you can determine from the tee, make sure you get a good yardage and commit to it. The mounding around the green will repel your ball away unless you approach the hole head on. Take your two putt par and enjoy the quick walk to the next hole.<\/p>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cta-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"btn btn-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/coursepreview.golf\/sheepranch\/?hole=5\" target=\"_blank\">Interactive Preview<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"384\" height=\"557\" src=\"https:\/\/bandondunesgolf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/5-3-384x557.jpg\" class=\"bd-holes-tile-image\" alt=\"Hole 5\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bandondunesgolf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/5-3.jpg 384w, https:\/\/bandondunesgolf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/5-3-207x300.jpg 207w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px\" \/><div class=\"bd-holes-single-text-wrapper fg-white\"><div class=\"bd-holes-par-wrapper\">Par 3<\/div><div class=\"bd-holes-number-wrapper\">5<\/div><div class=\"bd-holes-yardage-wrapper\">198 YDS<\/div><\/div><div class=\"overlay\"><\/div><\/div>\t\t<div class=\"bd-holes-single-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"bd-holes-hover-wrapper fg-white\"><div class=\"bd-holes-hover-text\"><p>The tee shot from the sixth hole is sure to be one of the most photographed holes on the Sheep Ranch.
