As you survey Hole 4 at River’s Edge Golf Course, you’ll notice the presence of strategically placed bunkers that add an extra layer of complexity to your gameplay. The fairway takes on an hourglass shape while gradually narrowing at the 150-yard mark and creating a narrow landing zone that requires careful consideration. So, to avoid potential trouble, it is advisable to favor the left side of the fairway, as the first bunker on the right is within reach for strong hitters.
When you near the green, the challenges only intensify. This green is long, slightly elevated, and features undulations that will truly test your shot-making abilities. While it may appear to play downhill, be sure to choose a club that will allow you to reach the green in regulation, as the full yardage is your best bet. Don’t be tempted to play it safe, as there is no perfect spot to bail out. Stay focused and commit to this demanding approach.
Lastly, it’s crucial to note that the front edge of the green is just 132 yards from the 150-yard marker, a detail of utmost importance. Why? Well, a deep bunker guards the front of the green, demanding that you clear it with your approach shot. Assess the distance wisely and execute your shot with accuracy to avoid the clutches of that formidable sand trap.
