HOLE 4

The 303m Par 4 fourth, often with wind assistance from the prevailing wind, can be a short hole, particularly in the summer. The hole is protected by out of bounds down the right. A ridge at the landing point for short hitters can lead to some interesting bounces with in general, a bounce to the right, toward the out of bounds being the result. The ideal tee shot will result in being over the ridge on a flat area about 120m from the green. Don’t be too long with the approach shot, as the out of bounds to the rear of the green will require a reload. Pro’s Tip: For really big hitters, this green is reachable from the tee, but an 180m-iron drive will provide a good position for an approach. Danger Zone: Out of bounds to the right can capture the sliced drive and the out-of-bounds long can ruin a promising round. Don’t be too far right on the green as it is sloped toward the out of bounds or to a waiting bunker.
