Hole 4 Discussion

This may be the first straight-forward hole on the course. The tee shot typically favors a draw, as the trees on the right can interfere with anything moving right-to-left off the tee. The prevailing wind will likely reinforce this, as it typically blows toward the tee box, while pushing slightly to the right side. You may not see the wind at play until the shot reaches the opening in the trees, but may require and a little extra club.

If the shot is played correctly, the tree in the front shouldn’t be in play, but if the wind pushes against the shot, landing on or under the tree is very possible.

The green slopes generally right to left, and a bit back to front.

Note: 70 yards to the center of the green from between the two large tree trunks.
