4th: Runway

4
During World War Two, the 4th’s flat fourth fairway was a cause of concern to the authorities because of its suitability as a potential landing ground for aircraft. On one occasion, for example, a spitfire had landed at a beach near Sandfield, a couple of miles away. The club dug a series of trenches across the fairway to act as a breaker and partial evidence of these ground-works is still visible today. Furthermore, potatoes were sown on the hole as part of the war effort.

Par 4 – 416m
This is the longest par four on the course and has an index of one. The ladies play it as a par five. The drain is still a factor, separating the hole on the right-hand side from the out-of-bounds. A long straight tee-shot still leaves a very challenging second to a well-protected green. Shorter hitters should ensure that they leave themselves a clear pitch for their third shot. Bunkers at the front right and left swallow the wayward approaches, while the undulating putting surface will test even the best putters.
