and I think that's part of what makes them so good.
I can't count the number of times that I've played a short par-4 that is 290 yards from the member's tees (not drivable for most) and has its key strategic feature requiring a carry of 250 yards (not carry-able for most).
At Barnbougle Dunes, the 4th and 12th have carries of only 220 yards from the second from back tees to carry the main trouble. For most golfers playing 6500 yard courses this is a very realistic carry yardage and will tempt them into taking on the challenge. Successful carries on the bold line also mean a likely putt for eagle. Failure to execute can quickly turn the hole into a wipe.
Similarly, the 14th at Lost Farm is only a 230 yard carry, straight downhill, over a bunker but requiring the golfer to flirt with lost ball territory to the right. Once again, the possibility of eagle will have many golfers making dangerous decisions.
I say well done to Renaissance and C&C for building truly drivable par-4s. The holes are better for it, and more interesting for 99% of people that play them, even if they can driven by a pro with a long-iron.
