Golf Club of Houston (Tournament Course) Hole by Hole - 4th Hole

Hole 4 at Golf Club of Houston (Tournament Course) is a par 5, measuring 517 yards from the Men's tees. The fairway has a slight dogleg left and measures 41 yards in width with four bunkers scattered throughout. Although there is water on this hole, it should not come into play unless you are wildly off line to the left side. This hole plays slightly more difficult during the winter months when temperatures drop and wind speeds increase, making club selection for your tee shot even more important. Your ideal drive will land just short of the bunker that sits on the inside corner of the dogleg, leaving you with an approach shot between 120-140 yards depending on pin placement and weather conditions (your 7 iron or pitching wedge would be best). Greenside bunkers only make up 1% of total area here so they shouldn't be too much concern if you hit a good approach shot.
