Hole 6 at Arrowood Golf Club
Par 4 • 282 Yards • Oceanside, California
Hole 6 at Arrowood Golf Club presents an intriguing risk-reward opportunity on this short par 4 of 282 yards. Despite being the 17th handicap hole, this straight layout demands precision over power, with the compact green serving as the primary defense. The absence of significant hazards might tempt aggressive players to consider driver off the tee, but the small green complex requires careful approach shot planning.

This short par-4 at just 282 yards presents a strategic decision off the tee. The fairway widens dramatically from 36 yards at the 200-yard mark to 109 yards at 250 yards, making a controlled layup with a mid-iron to the 200-yard area the safest play to avoid trouble.
Aggressive players can take advantage of the generous 109-yard-wide fairway at 250 yards by hitting driver or 3-wood, leaving only a short wedge approach to the green. However, ensure your distance control is precise to find this wider landing area.
Be aware of bunkers positioned at 160.3 yards from the tee. A conservative tee shot with a 7 or 8-iron will safely clear these hazards while still leaving a manageable approach shot to the green.
The green measures 33 yards by 39 yards (5,081 sq ft), providing a generous target for your approach shot. From 250 yards, you'll have only a 30-40 yard wedge shot, making pin-hunting very feasible on this short par-4.
With the green's substantial dimensions of 33x39 yards, focus on aggressive pin-seeking rather than playing safe to the center. The large target allows for attacking flag positions, especially when approaching with a short wedge from the ideal 250-yard driving distance.
This 282-yard par 4 is ideal for working on your driver accuracy. Launch monitors from $600 let you practice this exact shot with real course data from home.
