Enhanced Content

Tough

The fourth hole at TPC San Antonio's Canyons Course presents a deceptively challenging par 3 that demands precision over power. At 182 yards, this straight shot requires golfers to navigate to a small, well-protected green that sits as the centerpiece of this mid-length one-shotter. The absence of major hazards might suggest an easier approach, but the compact target demands accurate club selection and committed execution. The green's modest dimensions leave little margin for error, making distance control paramount. As the 15th handicap hole, it offers scoring opportunities for those who find the putting surface, but wayward shots can quickly turn birdie chances into bogey struggles. This hole exemplifies strategic golf design where subtlety trumps intimidation.
