Hole 4 - Par 4

340 yds / 325 yds / 315 yds

The 4th hole is an uphill dogleg right, with a barrier of trees all along the right side of the fairway, and a bunker at the far left side as viewed from the tee. The tee ground converges at the 5th hole green and the 6th hole tee, so you can get a good idea of how fast to play through the next two holes by taking a glance to your left.

The muddy, asphalt cart path follows the long 4th fairway on the right, which acts as a long hazard. Getting caught in the trees on the right will ensure a muddy landing, with a difficult play. If you get stuck on the hill side, watch your head, as players will be coming up the other side, finishing the 2nd hole. Roosevelt gives you a drop off the wrong tee or green, but everyone will know what your score really is...

Getting up the hill to the green on the 4th hole is a good challenge, the bunker doesn't present much of a danger except when teeing off. A fence at the back of the green should prevent lost balls, so taking a gutsy shot is acceptable. The large green is surrounded by shrubs and an outhouse, and the grass fades into the surroundings, so putting from most areas on top of the hill should be possible. Take a breather, get a drink and onto the 5th.
