Yardages are measured to the center of the green. Local rules: the large blue boulder on Hole 4 is an immovable obstruction.

The Signature Hole

The Blue Boulder Hole.

Hole 4 at The Snake is built around one of the most memorable features in Scottsdale golf: the Blue Boulder.

This massive blue-green boulder was sourced near Tucson and placed as the centerpiece of the 4th hole, creating a playful short-course moment that is part landmark, part strategy, and all personality.

The Blue Boulder gives The Snake its own kind of desert golf mythology — the kind of hole golfers remember, talk about, and want to play again.

Take your best swing, keep your eyes steady, and see if you can make your way past the rock.
