Hole 4 - 120 yards

The fourth hole at Turnberry is based on the “Postage Stamp,” the eighth hole at Royal Troon on the western coast of Scotland. The name of the hole was coined by famed golfer Willie Park who said the hole had “a pitching surface skimmed down to the size of a postage stamp.”

Over the ensuing decades it has become one of the most famous holes in golf. Like its famous Scottish cousin, golfers at Turnberry must avoid deep bunkers that guard the front right and left of the green, and find a narrow green that plays from back to front,  Essentially golfers tee off from high ground, with the green only 123 yards away. Length is not the issue. Though it looks benign, the hole is actually one of the more difficult holes on the course, especially if the wind wrecks havoc on tee shots.
