Hole 4 at Crestview Country Club (North Course)
Par 4 • 397 Yards • Wichita, Kansas
The 4th hole at Crestview Country Club (North Course) presents a deceptively straightforward par 4 that rewards precision over power. At 397 yards, this straight-away hole invites aggressive tee shots down a generous fairway corridor, with no significant hazards to intimidate players off the tee. The real challenge emerges on the approach shot to a small, well-protected green that demands accuracy and proper club selection. The compact putting surface leaves little margin for error, making distance control paramount from the fairway. While the handicap 11 rating suggests moderate difficulty, the unforgiving green complex can quickly turn routine pars into bogeys for those who miss their spots, making this hole a true test of course management and short iron precision.
