Hole 4 at Torrey Pines Golf Club's South Course is a par 4 that plays between 388 and 488 yards from the various tees. The championship tee, which measures out to be 488 yards, has a slight dogleg left with an approximate fairway width of 40 yards. This hole can be difficult for golfers of all skill levels as it requires accuracy off the tee due to its narrow fairway and 3 bunkers located in strategic positions. Greenside bunkers make up 2% of the total area on this green, so precision is key when approaching your second shot. Depending on your skill level and club selection you may need to adjust accordingly given the varying distances from each set of tees; if you are hitting a driver ~217 yards, 7 iron ~140 yards and pitching wedge ~120 yards then you should have no problem reaching this green in regulation with proper club selection. Weather conditions across all four seasons can vary greatly here in La Jolla ranging from cool coastal breezes during summer months to strong winds blowing off the Pacific Ocean during winter months – both will affect ball flight conditions so adjusting strategy accordingly is essential for success on this hole!
