The shortest hole on the course lies in wait just behind the 4th green.

Depending on the tee or pin position and wind conditions this could be anything from a sand wedge to a 6 iron. A large green in two steps can offer a difficult put for a misplaced shot.

The green is well guarded by bunkers on all sides and out of bounds behind. The forest on the right and trees on the left offer some shelter and narrow the target but the open areas around the green can cause the wind to play tricks with what looks like a good shot.
