The 4th is a standout, original short par 4. While the elevated green is quite deep, it offers very little margin for lateral deviation. As such, it offers a challenging approach even for players with impeccable distance control.
In the distance, below a gap in trees at the edge of the property, the elevated green is seen catching its first rays of morning light.
The sole fairway bunker is easily cleared by most golfers, but it does constrict play for those hoping to lay far enough back from the green to play a high-spinning wedge shot.
While the green is easily within reach from the tee by better players, its exceedingly narrow nature will almost assuredly cast away approaches played from any significant distance. A wide swath of tight turf allows players to choose from multiple angle of attack, so one can plan the position of their misses and use any club from a putter to a 3-wood to chip on.
A look back to the tee from the green’s left side provides a better sense of scale for the high and steep borders of the green complex.
