Tough

The fourth hole at Los Serranos Golf & Country Club (South course) presents a classic 442-yard par 4 that rewards precision over power. This straight-away layout features a generous fairway that invites an aggressive tee shot, but the real challenge lies in the approach to a small, well-protected green complex. With minimal hazards flanking the fairway, golfers can focus on positioning their drive for the optimal angle into the putting surface.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

With the fairway measuring just 12 yards wide at both the 200 and 250-yard marks, precision is crucial off the tee. Consider hitting a controlled 3-wood or hybrid to stay in the short grass rather than risking driver into such a narrow target.

approach

Plan your tee shot to leave a comfortable approach distance, as bunkers positioned at 405.4 yards from the tee guard the green area. A 200-yard tee shot leaves approximately 240 yards to the green, while a 250-yard drive cuts it to around 190 yards.

green

The green measures 30 yards deep by 25 yards wide (4,654 sq ft), providing a reasonably sized target for your approach. Aim for the center of the green to give yourself the best chance at two-putt par on this challenging hole.

tee shot

At 442 yards total length with such a narrow fairway (12 yards at key distances), course management is essential. Playing conservatively off the tee and accepting a longer second shot may be the smarter play than risking penalty strokes in the rough or hazards.
