Greystone - Hole 4

Have any of you even gotten on the green in two from the gold or black tees?
It just seems damn near impossible to me. You’d have to hit the perfect slice off the tee, then the perfect hook on your second shot. I try the tee shot sometimes during scrambles and it almost never works.

It’s almost never worth trying in my opinion (for me at least). Doable? Yes. Worth triple or worse 4 holes into my round? No. Just play for par and move on.

Club Pro has a Double Eagle on that hole.
I cut that corner once and was on upper deck- - hit a perfect “power” draw 3w that had me about 6” off green. Best I’ve ever come and nothing close to that is even my normal play on that hole.

I’ve done it once… from gold. And it was by sheer accident. Hit an absolute thinned missile stinging slice that curved around that corner and landed perfectly in place setting me up for an attempt with 3w. Hit and absolute perfect draw landing it short of the green but managed to get it to roll up in the very front… pin was on the back left corner that day so naturally I 3 putted ..

Couldn’t agree more. If I could get the tee shot down and land on the other side of the ditch reliably, I’m pretty good at hooking my 3 wood on demand.

The tee shot is hit over the trees on the right with a fade. Then the second shot would be hit over the trees on the lef, doesn't have to draw, just have to have enough room to get the ball up and over the trees in front of you. I've seen it done, but never in a one man, one ball round. It's always a scramble when someone tries it. I"ve seen plenty of attempts fly directly into the trees on that second attempt.

Pro is also a lefty so, drawing the corner is a bit easier than fading the corner.
4 is a great hole to be happy with par and move on .

My last two times playing it
-great drive, 5w to four feet, made birdie
-hooked driver, tried to draw 3w that I thinned into the abyss, took drop, 56* over back of green, chipped it 20’ past the hole, 3 putt.
I hate that hole and #10

I've started treating 10 like a bogey hole. The back has more scoring opportunities after 10, so I take my licks.
Straight and short off the tee, layup, over ditch and hope I'm close on the approach, 2-putt at worse. Get lucky or have a great approach and it's a par. But never a double or worse.

Yeah, I don’t have those shots. I can’t get over the trees with my driver or 3 wood off the tee, and definitely can’t get over the woods left on my approach.

Yeah every time I attempt to do that it goes horribly wrong.. Thats why I never use a good ball if I'm attempting it.. I also stopped hitting driver there.. It's usually 7w or hybrid of the tee and land near the red tee box.. then go from there..

Thats why i said it was by sheer accident.. My initial plan was to hit one across the canal/ditch (whatever it is) there to be on the other side... Shot just went terribly wrong but worked out like i knew what i was doing... and yeah in a scramble it's definitely the most accurate of the group lays up.. then the others swing for the fences and hope someone gets lucky

Same, except I try to get past the red tees, in the fairway in front of the large drainage ditch. If I go in that ditch, especially with an uphill lie, that’s a great result. I don’t like to flirt with the ditch on the right side, or that big hole by the culvert.

Yeah I’ll take the uphill lie on that shot.
Now I can’t tell you how many times I’ve tried to hit it there and hit an unintentional draw and wound up in that damn bunker.
This reminds me. I’ve yet to hit my mini driver on this hole. I tend to hit a really nice baby fade with it and it about 20-25 yards shorter than driver. frick, I think I just play this one safe all the time I never think about it

Was playing with a couple of friends from the tips one time and hit a solid drive down on top of the swell, then took 3 wood over the trees on the left to about 3 feet past the hole for an eagle (also a lefty, so a little easier for me than a righty) for what has to be the closest I've come to an albatross.

My quote was "I've seen it done", but certainly not by me.

After years, I’ve grown to respect 4 and 10 for what they are. 2 and 13 piss me off way more these days.

2 I hit 7w or Hybrid off the tee depending on where the tee happens to b set...
13 can bite my arse.. but one of guys in our group has an Ace on it.. And My daughter and one of her good friends has been within 6in of rolling one in..
I don't like 12.. Mainly because I don't draw the ball well (or at least when I want to) and I just don't like the look from the tee box..

I could bitch about Greystone’s layout all day. It’s mostly because I’m not a good golfer though.
Hole 2 is brutal unless you have a good tee shot.
Hole 3 sucks because the only safe miss is short. Even if you hit the green, it can still be a hard two putt depending on the flag.
Hole 5 is just really long without a great tee shot.
Hole 6 can get fricked. I’ve gotten better at it though, starting my 3 wood over land and letting it draw in to the landing zone.
Hole 7 is tough. I need to remember to take more club on it and maybe miss long.
Hole 10 can also get fricked. I’ve considered playing it as a par 5, but I usually just hit my 5 wood. If I miss, it’ll be long left, so I just drop and hit 3 into the green. Maybe make a par but probably bogey.
Hole 13 isn’t bad if the pin is in the back.
Hole 18 is just a stupid design. I’ve been playing it well lately, but it makes me mad that I can’t possibly get there in two.

One time, just as you described. Huge slice off the tee and draw on to the green. I then putted the ball off the green, duffed a chip and doubled.

Absolutely.. Although on occasion I hit an absolute nuke and roll it into that ditch which is equally aggravating..

Hole 6
Yeah that's normally been a 7w from the tee hole

Hole 10
I've been hitting my mini from the tee on this one and its been working well..

Yes, yes it is..
