Hole 4 at Pauma Valley Country Club is a slight dogleg right par 4 that measures 419 yards from the men's tees. This hole requires an accurate tee shot, as the fairway narrows to 31 yards wide in some spots and is lined with 9 bunkers. The green area of 8721 sq ft has 6% greenside bunkers, so accuracy off the tee and on your approach is key here.
The altitude of Pauma Valley can affect ball flight conditions depending on the season - during summer months, you may experience hot temperatures which will cause your ball to fly farther than usual while winter brings cooler temperatures that could make it difficult for you to reach this long par 4 in two shots. Wind speed also needs to be taken into account when playing Hole 4; if there is strong wind coming from left-to-right or right-to-left then club selection should be adjusted accordingly.
For most golfers, a driver off the tee followed by a 7 iron or pitching wedge will give them their best chance at making par here. If you are able to hit your drive 217 yards (the average distance given above), then you should have no problem reaching this hole in two shots with proper club selection and shot placement throughout its entirety.

Club Recommendations
When approaching the green, it is important to remember that accuracy is key. The fairway narrows in some spots and there are 6% greenside bunkers surrounding the 8721 sq ft green area. Aim for the center of the green and use a club with enough spin to ensure you don't fly past your target; this will give you a better chance at making par or even birdieing this hole.
