#4-Dubsdread                                                                            

(D) Dick Wilson & Joe Lee, 1964; (R) Rees Jones, 2008

Course Record- (62) Tiger Woods                  


Nationally ranked since it opened in 1964, Course #4 has acquired the nickname, "DUBSDREAD." A natural style championship golf course, DUBSDREAD places a demand on shot making by providing tight landing areas combined with heavily bunkered, large undulating greens.  

From September 2007 to September 2008, renowned golf course architect Rees Jones oversaw a renovation project to update the challenges envisioned in the original design of Dick Wilson and Joe Lee. Golfers now face 18 new greens with Sub-Air Systems, redesigned and repositioned sand bunkers, a risk-reward pond on Hole 7, additional tee options, and a 497-yd. par 4 finishing hole featuring a green moved perilously close to the nearby pond.
