Enhanced Content

Challenging

Hoakalei Country Club hole 4 offers a straightforward yet demanding test, stretching 406.0 yards through the sun-drenched Ewa Plain landscape of Kapolei. This straight-away par 4 rewards precision over power, with a tee shot requiring golfers to find the fairway before turning attention to the green complex. Twin greenside bunkers guard the putting surface, ready to swallow approach shots that drift offline, demanding a calculated club selection on the way in. While the direct path might suggest simplicity, the strategic placement of sand hazards flanking the green ensures this hole punishes complacency. A modest handicap rating of 13 belies the sharp focus required to navigate the approach and card a solid score on this Hawaiian test.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

The fairway offers a generous 38-yard width at the 250-yard mark, so favor a driver or 3-wood to maximize distance and set up a shorter approach into this 406-yard par 4.

hazard warning

A cluster of three bunkers guards the landing zone between 354.9 and 382.4 yards—players hitting driver should account for this range to avoid catching sand off the tee.

approach

With bunkers positioned at 354.9y, 366.3y, and 382.4y, plan your approach club selection to either carry all three or lay up short, avoiding a mid-iron that lands directly in this hazard zone.

green

This green is classified as small at just 2,984 square feet (22 by 32 yards), so precision on your approach is critical—err on the side of center-green targeting rather than attacking tucked pin positions.

tee shot

Given the 406-yard par 4 length, a well-struck tee shot leaving 140-160 yards will allow a mid-iron approach into the compact 22x32-yard green, improving your odds of hitting the putting surface.
