Hole 4 at Calusa Lakes Golf Club is a challenging par 4 that requires both distance and accuracy off the tee. From the "championship" tees, this hole measures 432 yards with a slight dogleg left and features a single bunker on the fairway. The green area is relatively small at 5312 sq ft, making it crucial to hit an accurate approach shot.

The ideal tee shot for this hole would be a driver, which should travel approximately 217 yards for our average golfer. This will leave them with around 215 yards to the green. However, due to the slight dogleg left, it may be beneficial to aim slightly right off the tee in order to avoid any potential hazards or trees on the left side of the fairway.

Once in position for their approach shot, our golfer can expect to use their 7 iron from around 140 yards out or their pitching wedge from about 120 yards out. With only one bunker on this hole and none greenside as a % of total bunkers, there is not much concern for landing in sand traps. Instead, focus should be placed on hitting an accurate approach shot onto the small green.

In terms of weather conditions throughout different seasons at Calusa Lakes Golf Club, golfers can expect some variation based on altitude and temperature changes. In warmer months such as spring and summer when temperatures are higher and air density is lower, shots may fly farther than expected due to reduced resistance against ball flight. On colder days during fall and winter when temperatures are lower and air density is higher, shots may not travel as far as expected due to increased resistance against ball flight.

Overall,this demanding par-4 presents challenges throughout each season but with strategic club selection off the tee followed by precise approach shots onto a small green area surrounded by minimal bunkering,it provides opportunities for low scores if played smartly.
