Hole 4 at Cypress Point Club

Par 4 • 384 Yards • Pebble Beach, California

Enhanced Content

Challenging

The fourth hole at Cypress Point Club presents a deceptively straightforward par 4 that demands precision over power. At 384 yards, this straight layout appears generous from the tee, but the small green complex transforms what seems like a routine approach into a test of accuracy and course management. The tee shot offers ample fairway to work with, allowing players to focus on positioning for the critical second shot. However, the compact green requires pinpoint approach play, as anything less than precise will leave challenging recovery shots. Without major hazards to navigate, Cypress Point Club hole 4 becomes a pure examination of iron play and putting, where scoring depends entirely on execution rather than course management around trouble.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

With the fairway measuring just 12 yards wide at both 200 and 250 yards, accuracy is paramount off the tee. Consider hitting a controlled 3-wood or hybrid to stay in the short grass rather than forcing a driver.

hazard warning

Bunkers positioned at 171.7 yards from the tee create a significant hazard for shorter hitters or mishit drives. Plan your tee shot to either carry these bunkers or lay up short of them.

approach

From the narrow fairway, you'll face an approach shot of roughly 130-180 yards to a compact green measuring just 3,814 square feet. Club selection and accuracy are critical to avoid missing this small target.

green

The green's dimensions of 26 by 28 yards make it a challenging target for approach shots. Aim for the center of the green rather than attacking pins, as there's little room for error on this tight target.

tee shot

At 384 yards total length, this par 4 rewards position over distance. A well-placed tee shot in the 12-yard-wide fairway sets up a manageable mid-iron approach rather than a difficult recovery from the rough.
