Hole 4
Yards: 203 Par: 3 Handicap: 9
The elevated tees on this downhill par 3 offers a wonderful view of the natural rock ledges in Wildwood Creek below as it crosses the hole from left to right. The putting surface is large, with two pot type bunkers front and left and is receptive to bounce in shots from the right. The gentle contours in the putting surface will produce relative simple putts.
HOLE 4, SHOT 1>>
Hello, my name is Matt Dillman, Head Golf Professional at Thousand HillsGolf Resort in Branson Missouri. I’m standing on the fourth tee, par 3, 184 yards with a creek meandering all the way through the hole. The creek is on the left side so I am going to aim to the right to avoid, not only the creek but also that bunker. Let’s see how this one turns out…. Just a little too far to the right and I didn’t get the bounce to the left that I was anticipating. We’ll go up there and see if we can save our par.

Here on the fourth green. Unfortunately I have missed the green, but what I’ve got is a lot of choices. I’m above the hole, I can fly this thing to the green and try to get it to stop by using my most lofted wedge. I’ve got my 60 degree, or I can try to bump it and let the lay of the land take it towards the pin, I’ve got my pitching wedge. The first option I’m going to try is the 60 degree…. Almost made that one. Let’s see what the other option will do… Either way, I’ve got two good chances for par.

After what I consider a pretty good shot with my 60 degree, I’ve got about three feet for par. It looks like its going to turn a little to the right and I hope it does because I’m going to allow for it…. Another easy par.
