A "Par 5" is a type of golf hole that is designed to be completed in five strokes by an expert golfer. It typically measures between 450 and 600 yards in length, allowing players to use a combination of long drives and strategic shots to reach the green. The goal is to complete the hole in as few strokes as possible, ideally achieving a score of par. On a Par 5 hole, players often have the opportunity to reach the green in two strokes, especially if they can hit a powerful drive. This makes Par 5s exciting, as they can lead to birdies (one stroke under par) or even eagles (two strokes under par) if played well. Many famous golf courses, such as Augusta National and Pebble Beach, feature challenging Par 5 holes that test a golfer's skills.
