I agree, rebeccaburch. It’s all about finding that balance in design. Speaking of memorable, do you guys have any specific par 4 holes you’d recommend based on these terrain challenges?

The average length of a par 4 hole is generally around 350-450 yards, but this can vary widely. Understanding this range helps with club selection!
I often find that for shorter par 4s, using a 3-wood or hybrid off the tee helps me place my second shot easier.
That’s a good point, wmurphy! On longer par 4s, sometimes I take driver to gain distance, but I think strategizing where to land it is just as key.
Absolutely! Shot placement matters. With tougher pin placements, I’ve learned that playing safely to the center of the green can yield better scores over the round.

For par 4s, it’s also crucial to assess the wind and adjust your club choice accordingly!
Exactly, mooneylaura! I’ve also noticed that playing in the right conditions influences my choice of club. Do you guys adjust based on the course layout too?

I think course layout makes a big difference! I like to consider hazards. Sometimes those trick me into bad club decisions. Anyone else experience this?
Definitely, krystal38! I had an embarrassing moment once where I aimed for the wrong side of the fairway and ended up in a bunker. Oops!
Haha! These things happen. It’s all part of the game! What’s everyone’s go-to strategy for dealing with tight fairways?
I usually play it safe and go for a 3-wood on tight fairways, but some might say that’s too conservative. What’s the balance between risk and caution?
