What is the 4th hole of the golf course?

The 4th hole is a 100-degree dogleg right with a raised fairway. It was a thrilling hole all the way through, where you hit up to the elevated corner of the dogleg and then are faced with a downhill approach which is really fun. The greens on the Old course are mostly perfect circles and small in size.

7. Par 4 410/377. This hole and the second are the flattest on the course. Three bunkers are on both sides of the fairway. The most interesting feature of the hole is the seven bunkers at the green complex, a mixture of wide and long or very small.

How many bunkers are there in Par 4 452?

From the elevated tee with a drop of perhaps 30 feet this is an attractive hole as bunkers line both sides of the fairway. It is a pity that the fairway is wet as it detracts from the hole. Eleven bunkers are on this hole with five coming into play off the tee. Longer hitters will carry these bunkers. The right side offers three bunkers set within smaller mounds.from which recovery is problematic. Trees come into play down the right side starting 150 yards out. The green is the first angled green on the course, going right to left with the left side hidden behind a mound. The green tilts to the front with a thumbprint also near the front. This could be a super hole if the bunkers were better as well as having a dry fairway. It s rated the hardest on the front nine although I thought five and eight are more difficult.

What is the second hardest hole in the Outward Nine?

8. Par 4 407/356. This hole is rated the second hardest on the outward nine due to tremendous change in elevation. You hit downhill from the tee to a multi-tiered fairway that does not allow one’s ball to roll out much before the next tier begins. From the lowest point of the fairway, the green is 50 feet above you adding to the length of the hole. The green is well defended with deep bunkers of twelve feet on either side as well as taller grasses nearby. One cannot go long here as there is little room behind the green before trees and tall grass begins. The green is terrific with a steep slope to the front and a back shelf. It is a strong golf hole that is matches a strong visual appeal with multiple defenses.
