Moderate

PGA National Resort & Spa (Champion) hole 4 presents a deceptively straightforward par 4 that demands precision over power. This 376-yard test features a generous fairway that invites aggressive tee shots, but the real challenge lies in the approach to a small, well-guarded green complex. The straight layout allows players to see their target clearly, yet the compact putting surface requires careful club selection and accurate iron play. Without major hazards to navigate, this hole rewards golfers who can execute fundamental shots under pressure. The elevated green and surrounding slopes create subtle collection areas that can turn a seemingly routine approach into a delicate recovery shot, making this an excellent scoring opportunity for those who respect its understated demands.
