Check out the following link to take a look at some new images of Pete Dye's renovations of The Ocean Course (two of No. 18 green complex and one aerial view of the landing area of No. 4):

Aren't those fairway bunkers on #4 new?  The new width in
the fairway left looks seemless, as if it was always there.

Yup, new fairway bunkers to turn the hole more left to right giving a much better angle into the green.  The fairway was shaved down so that the marsh crossing is more visible, especially from the white tees where it is very reachable.  The bunkers are generally just visual keys and are designed to reject most shots but, if you find one of them with your tee shot, ya got to take your medicine cause with the natural grasses in them, there's not way to go for the green.

And, just because I've been asked, there are similar pot bunkers on other holes -- No. 9, No. 12 and No. 13...

How deep are those fairway pot bunkers on #4...if you get in one can you cross the marsh?

Matt;

Let's put it this way...it would be a high risk shot to even attempt the marsh crossing from those bunkers.

Those are "take you medicine" bunkers...
