Hole 4 at Southern Highlands Golf Club

Par 4 • 410 Yards • Las Vegas, Nevada

Enhanced Content

Challenging

The fourth hole at Southern Highlands Golf Club presents a deceptively straightforward par 4 that demands precision over power. At 410 yards, this straight-away design appears generous from the elevated tee, but the small green complex quickly reveals the hole's true challenge. The wide fairway invites an aggressive tee shot, yet the approach requires surgical accuracy to find the compact putting surface. Without significant hazards to intimidate, golfers must rely on course management and pin-point iron play. The green's modest dimensions punish wayward approaches, making distance control paramount on the second shot. This hole exemplifies Southern Highlands' philosophy of rewarding strategic thinking over brute force, creating a memorable test that lingers long after the round.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

Target the wider landing area at 250 yards where the fairway opens to 46 yards wide, giving you more margin for error than the tighter 26-yard corridor at 200 yards.

hazard warning

Avoid the bunker complex at 278 yards - lay up short with a controlled tee shot or ensure you can carry it completely to reach the safer 46-yard wide fairway beyond.

approach

From 250 yards out, you'll face a 160-yard approach to a compact 2,979 square foot green - club up and focus on distance control rather than trying to attack pins.

green

The green measures just 21 by 24 yards, making it a small target for approach shots - aim for the center of the green rather than chasing pin positions.

tee shot

Consider laying up to 200-220 yards with a mid-iron to avoid the fairway bunkers and set up a comfortable mid-iron approach, especially given the narrow 26-yard fairway width at 200 yards.
