green #4

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the absolute best time to play Green #4 to avoid the notorious coastal winds?

We recommend late July through early September for your best shot at calmer conditions. While you might still encounter a breeze, it's generally less ferocious than the spring or fall gales that can turn a good round into a survival test. Book well in advance, as these prime windows fill up fast.

How challenging is Green #4 for a mid-handicapper, especially with its reputation for demanding play?

Don't let the views distract you - Green #4 is a proper test, even for seasoned players. The fescue rough is penal, and those greens have more subtle breaks than you'd expect, so bring your A-game and maybe a few extra balls. We always suggest walking it to truly appreciate the subtle elevation changes and strategic shot-making required.

What's the typical green fee at Green #4, and is it truly worth the premium price tag?

Expect to pay a premium, often in the $250-$400 range depending on the season and time of day. We firmly believe it's worth every penny for the sheer quality of the design, the immaculate conditioning, and those unforgettable ocean vistas you'll carry with you long after the round. It's an experience, not just a round of golf.

What's the one hole at Green #4 that everyone talks about, and what makes it so special?

Hole #16, a dramatic par-3 playing directly over a deep coastal chasm, is the one you'll remember. The wind often whips across the gap, making club selection a true gamble, and the views of the crashing waves below are simply breathtaking - try not to let them distract your swing. It's a true postcard moment.

Should we plan to walk or ride at Green #4, given its coastal terrain?

You absolutely should walk Green #4 - it's designed for it, and you'll miss so much of the course's character from a cart. While there are some significant elevation changes, the caddies are fantastic and enhance the experience, offering invaluable local knowledge and helping with those tricky reads. Embrace the hike; your score (and spirit) will thank you.
