The plan for No. 4

The play: The only inland par 3, played to a very large green set among the dunes. Par 3, men's stroke index 12 (74 212, 70 202, 66 189, 62 170, 54 143 yards). It was the third-hardest hole of the 2023 DP World Tour event, with the longest average approach on the course (212 yards).

Shot by shot

  1. Off the tee

    The club: aim at the left half, the safe side. A right-side flag means carrying the big dune bunker short right, with two hidden bunkers beside it. Tour 2023: the third-hardest hole of the week. From this tee the green is 170 yards to the front, 205 to the center and 238 to the back. Carrying the front bunker takes 116 yards.

  2. Approach & recovery

    Miss left: all the greenside sand is on the right.

  3. On the green

    The mapped green is about 69 yards deep and 46 yards wide.

  4. Watch for

    • Large dune bunker short right (detached from the green)
    • Two blind bunkers right

Research notes

  • A very large green: the left side is the safe line, while right-side pins mean carrying a big dune bunker that sits about 20 m short of the green, with two hidden bunkers beside it. (Hole 4)[1]
  • The third hardest hole in 2023: the average approach was 212 yards, the longest on the course, with 72 bogeys or worse against 43 birdies. (Hole 4)[2]
  • The fairways are among the widest on tour but missing them is heavily punished, and the very large greens mean more long lag putts than usual when the wind blows. (Keys to performing well)[3]
