Four — 375 Yards, Par 4
"Short 'n Sweet"

The fourth has the addition of a new tee, which is 20 yards further back and to the players' right. The tee shot at No. 4 was difficult before with a deep bunker protecting left of the fairway with another fairway bunker lying in wait on the right. The aggressive play is to take the tee shot over the left bunker; however, the new tee has taken the carry yardage of left bunker from 240 yards to 260 yards and given a slightly different angle off of the tee. Although a relatively short par 4 by today's standards, this hole will still be a test for all players. Distance control is the key for approaches to this green. Shots going long of the green will surly reach a watery grave in Floyds Fork.
