Hide fields on front end except for admins

Is there a (fairly) simple solution to hiding fields on the front of the website based on a role?

I have a client with a car company and he wants to hide certain information about those cars on the front end unless an admin is logged in.

The caveat here is that I have to use ACF 4.1x – 5 crashes (terribly so) when using 5 and the plugin that displays the cars. (Progression Car Dealer.)

I think it should be simple (check the role and don’t show the fields if it’s anyone but an admin) but I can’t seem to make it work. I am not great with PHP.

Any help is appreciated.

There is a way to do this, but only in ACF 5 using this filter https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/acf-prepare_field/.
