"The fourth hole follows the curve of the road, on the other
side of which are picturesque woods. It presents no difficulties
to the expert, but it has pitfalls for the novice" - PG Wodehouse
A Woman Is Only a Woman

Arguably Mount Lofty's signature hole, the Fourth is a dogleg to
the right, played from an elevated tee to a green tucked behind
Cox's Creek. To reach the green in regulation requires a well
placed drive of around 230 metres to the centre or left of the
fairway. Long hitters, especially in summer, need to beware of
running into the strategically-placed burn, which crosses the
fairway just past the corner. From behind the burn, the second
shot is a well judged short iron or wedge, played from a downhill
lie to a green with water in front and a rough covered bank behind.

If your drive is not likely to reach the corner, as in winter conditions,
you might be better off playing a fairway wood or long iron from the
tee, to make sure of hitting the fairway. The percentage play then
would be to lay-up short of the burn, leaving a full approach shot to
the green, rather than play over the burn and attempt the more
delicate pitch across the creek.
