Brilliantly conceived and impeccably shaped, 5 West at Royal Melbourne is close to the perfect par three. Its steeply pitched green sits beyond a valley and between a series of glorious Sandbelt bunkers. The reward for keeping your ball under the hole is enormous, but it takes both skill and courage to flirt with the green's false front. This was the only hole at Royal Melbourne built under the direct guidance of Dr MacKenzie, who understandably left the club comfortable that Mick Morcom (its Head Greenkeeper) was capable of bringing his plans to life.
