Par 4 • 480 Yards • San Diego, California

Enhanced Content

Brutal

The Grand Golf Club hole 4 presents a demanding 480-yard par 4 that tests precision over power on this prestigious San Diego layout. This straight-ahead challenge features a generous fairway that welcomes aggressive tee shots, but the real test lies in the approach to a small, well-protected green complex. Without significant hazards to navigate, golfers can focus purely on execution and distance control. The compact green demands pinpoint accuracy on approach shots, as missing the putting surface leaves challenging up-and-down opportunities. What makes this hole memorable is its deceptive simplicity – appearing straightforward from the tee, it reveals its true character as players work their way toward a green that punishes anything less than precise iron play.
