We need to find the best way to represent the numbers.

The score will be best represented by $+4$

The depth of the Salton Sink will be best described as $-215$.

$4$ under par means that it took $4$ less strokes than the par of the course to complete the course.

This represented by $-4$

The negative sign comes first.

If the score is $4$ over par then it took $4$ more strikes than the par of the course.

This score will be best represented by $+4$

Let, us take the surface sea level as $0$.

So, the depth below the sea level will be negative and above it will be positive.

Hence, the depth of the Salton Sink will be best described as $-215$.
