Par 4 • 446 Yards • Kansas City, Missouri

Enhanced Content

Tough

Blue Hills Country Club's signature hole 4 stands as the course's ultimate test, earning its stroke-1 handicap rating through sheer length and precision demands. This straight 446-yard par 4 challenges golfers with a deceptively simple layout that requires both power and accuracy from tee to green. The generous fairway invites an aggressive tee shot, but the real challenge emerges on the approach to a small, well-protected green complex that punishes anything less than a perfectly struck iron. With no significant hazards to navigate, success depends entirely on execution and course management. This hole epitomizes Blue Hills' philosophy of rewarding strategic thinking over mere distance, making it a memorable centerpiece that separates skilled players from the field.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

The fairway dramatically narrows from 24 yards at 250 yards to just 12 yards at 200 yards, making accuracy more critical than distance off the tee. Consider hitting a controlled shot to the 200-yard mark to stay in the widest part of the fairway.

approach

With bunkers positioned at 410.9 yards, you'll face a challenging approach shot from around 160-180 yards to avoid these greenside hazards. Plan your tee shot to leave a comfortable approach distance.

green

The green measures 29 yards by 38 yards (6,198 sq ft), providing a reasonably sized target for your approach. Aim for the center of this medium-sized green to avoid short-siding yourself.

tee shot

At 446 yards for a par 4, this hole requires two solid shots. If you can reach the 250-yard mark where the fairway opens to 24 yards wide, you'll have better positioning for your approach.

hazard warning

The landing zone starts at 0 yards from the tee, meaning trouble lurks immediately. Focus on finding the fairway early and avoiding any hazards that may be present just off the tee box.
