Stanford University Golf Course

Opened for play in 2005, the newly redesigned fourth hole provides ample challenge despite its shortened length. The tee shot must contend with the San Francisquito Creek, which passes in front of the tee and tightly borders the right side of the green. There is no margin for error to the right, as the hazard lies just 10 feet from the putting surface.

Any attempt to bail out left of the creek will likely find the hole's lone bunker, which guards the left side of the green, creating a perilous escape shot back to the putting surface with the creek lurking beyond. The front of the putting surface is steeply pitched from back to front, and the entire green slopes towards the creek.
