Poipu Bay | Hole Four

This hole plays into prevailing winds, giving players their first taste of the type of shots that are necessary to be successful on this course. Controlling the trajectory off the tee and on the approach will prove crucial on all holes that play into the wind. On most of the holes that play in this direction, par is a good score. On this hole, a large cross-bunker creates a dogleg right for most players, but there’s plenty of room to the left. Driving the ball in the left center of the fairway will leave players with a straightforward knock-down shot into a well-bunkered green. The large chipping area to the right of the green, past the bunker, offers players their only bail-out on the 2nd shot.
