I feel like 528 is a longer par five on most courses, never mind that being a par four. You hit a big drive, say 300 and have another 225 into the green, which you have to hold at that distance, and then make your putts for a par. That's just punishing.

That reminds me of Schoolmaster at Muscle Shoals in Alabama. Course is over 8,000 yards from the tips. Par fives are 638, 681, 589, and 618, with 5 par fours over 450. Par threes are 238, 265, 226, and 197 (uphill). Courses like this are exhausting to play, and not just because of the yardage. They grind you down as you're always hitting your longest and hardest clubs in your bag to hit. It's fun to do every so often, but it is a long day out there.
