Arrowood Golf Club Hole by Hole - 14th Hole

Welcome to the 14th hole at Arrowood Golf Club, a challenging par 4 that requires strategic thinking and precise shots. Located in Oceanside, California, this course offers beautiful views of the surrounding landscape and is known for its well-maintained fairways and greens.

From the championship tees, this hole measures 373 yards with a slight dogleg left. The handicap for this hole is 16, indicating that it can be difficult for average golfers but also presents opportunities for scoring well. As you approach your tee shot, keep in mind that local weather conditions may impact ball flight. In warmer seasons when temperatures are higher and there is less wind, your drives may go farther than usual due to lower air density. On the other hand, cooler temperatures and strong winds can affect distance and direction of shots.

With an approximate fairway width of 46 yards, accuracy off the tee will be key on this hole. For reference, if you hit your driver around 217 yards on average, you should aim to land your drive within about halfway down the fairway to leave yourself with a manageable approach shot.

As you plan your approach shot from about 156 yards out (assuming an average drive), take note of any hazards or obstacles on the green complex. There are three bunkers strategically placed throughout this hole – one on each side of the fairway near landing areas off the tee and one greenside bunker as a small percentage (1%) of total area around the green itself.

Based on these factors and considering typical club distances for our golfer – approximately 140 yards with a seven iron or 120 yards with pitching wedge – we recommend choosing a club based on pin placement rather than simply aiming straight at center green every time.

Overall, Hole #14 at Arrowood Golf Club provides both challenges and opportunities for players looking to improve their scores. Keep these tips in mind as you navigate through this beautiful and strategic course.
