Colonial Country Club is one of the shortest courses on the PGA Tour, yet remains a difficult test due to its tight corridors and strategic demands.
The fifth hole exemplifies this challenge, measuring just 300 yards but featuring a narrow 27-yard fairway that limits margin for error.
Rather than relying on distance, players are often forced to prioritize accuracy by choosing fairway woods or long irons off the tee.
Staying in the fairway with a controlled tee shot is critical on this hole, as positioning outweighs power when it comes to scoring opportunities.
