Hole 6 at Bandon Dunes Resort's Pacific Dunes Course is a 316 yard, par 4 with a slight dogleg right. The championship tees feature no bunkers and the green area measures 6725 sq ft. The fairway width of 51 yards provides ample room to land the tee shot for most golfers. Depending on your club selection off the tee, players should consider playing their second shot short of the green in order to avoid any greenside bunker that may come into play.
Given its length, this hole can be approached with either an iron or driver off the tee depending on your comfort level and how much risk you are willing to take. For those who choose an iron off the tee, they will have approximately 140 yards left for their approach shot which could be hit with anything from a 7-iron (140 yds) up to a pitching wedge (120 yds). During summer months when temperatures tend to be higher than normal in Bandon Oregon, altitude changes combined with windy conditions could affect ball flight and make it more difficult for some players to reach this hole in two shots if they opt for an iron off the tee.

Club Recommendations
For those who choose to hit a driver off the tee, they should aim for the right side of the fairway in order to avoid any potential greenside bunkers. This will leave them with a shorter approach shot (100-120 yds) which can be hit with anything from an 8-iron up to a pitching wedge.
Overall, players should consider playing their second shot short of the green in order to avoid any greenside bunker that may come into play and focus on hitting precise shots rather than trying to overpower this hole. Additionally, windy conditions combined with altitude changes could make it more difficult for some players so having a good feel for club selection is key here.
