Hole 4

While not long, it is a hole of decision…

A classic Sandbelt short par 4 which bends to the right and where the best angle into the green is obtained from a tee shot played directly over the fairway bunker on the corner of the dogleg and finishing on the right hand side of the fairway. With a shot of 175 metres required to clear the bunker from the white tee, a long iron or a rescue club is all that is required for the perfect position and a shot of around 130 metres to the centre of the green. The green slopes from left to right and a shot from the wide open spaces of the left hand side of this fairway will often run off the right hand side of this sloping green. A shot from the left hand side also brings the front greenside bunker into play and an “up and down” from this bunker is extremely difficult for anything other than a back centre pin placement.
