Altitude and temperature may impact ball flight conditions here due to Indian Wells' location in California where temperatures can reach over triple digits during summer months. During winter months, cooler temperatures may decrease ball carry distance slightly for those not used to playing in desert climates.

For your approach shot, consider using your driver if you have enough power to reach the green comfortably or opt for a long iron if you prefer better control over distance. For players hitting around ~217 yards off the tee with their driver, using a pitching wedge (~120 yards) would be recommended for most accurate results when approaching this green area measuring approximately ~5681 sq ft.

Overall strategy: Be mindful about club selection based on weather conditions affecting ball flight altitude & temperature-wise; aim down center-left side towards front-middle portion of green area which allows room for potential roll-on effect; use either driver or long iron depending upon comfort level with each given option; utilize pitching wedge (~120 yds), assuming average golfer data provided by chart above applies appropriately.
