Hole 6 at Oregon Golf Club, The is a challenging par 4 that requires precision and strategy from the tee to the green. Located in West Linn, Oregon with an altitude of approximately 200 feet above sea level, this hole can play differently depending on the season.

From the championship tees, Hole 6 measures a lengthy 460 yards. With a slight dogleg right and only one bunker located near the fairway landing area, accuracy off the tee is crucial for setting up a good approach shot. For average golfers who hit their driver around 217 yards, it may be wise to use a fairway wood or hybrid off the tee to ensure staying in play and avoiding any potential hazards.

The fairway width is generous at about 50 yards but beware of out-of-bounds stakes lining both sides of the hole. A well-placed drive will leave you with an approach shot of roughly 240-250 yards into an elevated green that measures over 10,000 square feet.

With no greenside bunkers to contend with (a rarity on this course), players have more room for error on their approaches. However, there are some subtle undulations on this green that can make putting tricky if not properly read.

In terms of weather conditions throughout different seasons at Oregon Golf Club, temperature and wind will likely be factors impacting ball flight rather than altitude. During warmer months such as summer and early fall when temperatures reach highs in the mid-80s to low-90s Fahrenheit (29-35 Celsius), balls tend to travel further through thinner air. In contrast, colder months like winter and early spring will see temperatures drop down into lows in high-30s Fahrenheit (3 Celsius) which could lead to shorter distances off clubs due to denser air.

For average golfers looking for club recommendations based on distance alone without factoring in weather conditions or personal playing style/preferences:

Off the tee: Fairway wood or hybrid

Approach shot: Long iron or hybrid (depending on distance and potential wind conditions)

Overall, Hole 6 at Oregon Golf Club, The is a challenging par 4 that requires accuracy and strategy from tee to green. With no greenside bunkers to worry about, players have more room for error but must still navigate subtle undulations on the green. Keep an eye out for changing weather conditions throughout different seasons as they can impact ball flight and club selection.
