Hole 14 at Oregon Golf Club, The is a challenging par 4 with a slight dogleg left. From the championship tees, it measures 431 yards and has a handicap of 10. This hole requires accuracy off the tee as well as strategic approach shots to navigate its length.
The fairway width is approximately 55 yards, providing some room for error on the drive but not much. The green area spans over 13000 square feet, giving players enough space to work with on their approach shots.
The key to success on this hole lies in understanding how altitude and weather conditions can affect ball flight. Located in West Linn, Oregon at an elevation of around 200 feet above sea level, players may experience slightly longer distances due to thinner air compared to sea-level courses.
In terms of club selection off the tee, I recommend using a driver for most players as it will likely travel around 217 yards based on average distance data. However, if you are confident in your accuracy and want to avoid any potential hazards or trouble areas along the fairway's left side (where there is out-of-bounds), consider using a shorter club such as a hybrid or long iron that can still reach around 200-220 yards.
For your approach shot into this large green complex, keep in mind that temperatures can vary greatly throughout the year in Oregon. In colder months (fall/winter), expect less carry distance due to denser air while warmer months (spring/summer) may provide more carry distance thanks to lighter air density.
Based on average distances provided for our golfer hitting clubs like pitching wedge (~120 yds) and seven iron (~140 yds), I suggest aiming for about ~135-145 yardage range when selecting your second shot club from outside ~150-160 yards away from the pin depending upon wind conditions which could make things tricky especially given no bunkers protect this particular green.
Overall, Hole 14 at Oregon Golf Club, The is a challenging but strategic par 4 that requires precision and careful club selection to score well. Keep in mind the impact of altitude and weather conditions when making your shots and trust your abilities to navigate this slight dogleg left with confidence.
