Hole 4, Ginger Beer 480 yards Par 4
Take a brave line down the right off the tee and the players will have a better view for the second shot, where strict distance control is key. The hump in front of the green here can obscure the view of the pin and makes getting close to a front flag tough. There's one big bunker back left, which you don't want to be in with your approach.
