PAR 5 | 331 – 515 YARDS
About this hole
The first of three par 5s on the front nine, the fourth hole is also the first of the split-fairway holes. Starting from the ridge that also serves the third green, the tee shot hugs a grove of oaks to the right to a landing area that fades away from the golfer. Beyond the grove, the expansiveness of Braemar comes into view for the first time.

Playing tip
One feature of the upper route is a chance for the better golfer to use the strong right-to-left slope to shape a wood or long-iron from right to left. Properly executed, the shot should kick on the down-slope and roll onto the putting surface from there.
