Hole 6 at Calusa Lakes Golf Club is a challenging par 4 that requires both accuracy and strategy. From the championship tees, this hole measures 347 yards, making it one of the shorter holes on the course. However, do not be fooled by its length - with a handicap of 13, this hole can still prove to be difficult for even experienced golfers.
The tee shot on this hole is crucial as there are two fairway bunkers strategically placed on either side of the landing area. The fairway width is only 24 yards, so it's important to hit your driver (averaging around 217 yards) accurately in order to avoid these hazards and set up a good approach shot.
Once you've successfully navigated your tee shot, you'll find yourself facing an approach shot into a well-protected green. With only two greenside bunkers (representing just 2% of the total bunker count), most players will likely opt for their pitching wedge (averaging around 120 yards) or possibly their sand wedge if they prefer more loft.
However, don't let the lack of bunkers fool you - this green has some subtle undulations that can make putting tricky. Additionally, depending on weather conditions such as wind or temperature changes throughout each season in Nokomis Florida (located near sea level), ball flight may be affected and require adjustments in club selection.
Overall, Hole #6 at Calusa Lakes Golf Club offers both challenges and opportunities for players looking to improve their scores. Strategic decision-making off the tee combined with accurate approach shots will give players their best chance at scoring well on this unique par 4 hole.

Club Recommendations
1. Tee Shot Strategy: Accuracy is key on this hole, so consider using a shorter club off the tee to ensure you hit the fairway and avoid the bunkers. A hybrid or long iron may be a better option than your driver.
2. Approach Shot Strategy: Take note of the pin position before selecting your approach shot club. The green has subtle undulations, so aim for the center of the green rather than trying to attack a specific pin location.
3. Avoid Fairway Bunkers: With only 24 yards of fairway width, it's important to have an accurate tee shot in order to avoid the strategically placed bunkers on either side of the landing area.
4. Consider Weather Conditions: Keep an eye on weather conditions such as wind and temperature changes that can affect ball flight and require adjustments in club selection for both tee shots and approach shots.
5. Don't Underestimate Short Holes: Just because this hole is one of the shorter ones on the course doesn't mean it's easy - with a handicap of 13, even experienced golfers can struggle here. Stay focused and make strategic decisions throughout each shot.
6. Practice Putting Beforehand: The subtle undulations on this green can make putting tricky, so take some time before your round to practice reading greens with different slopes and breaks.
7. Play Safe When Necessary: If you're not confident about hitting over hazards or attacking certain pin positions, play safe by aiming for more open areas or laying up short instead of risking losing strokes by going for glory shots.
