Hole 4 at Oakmont Country Club is a challenging 5 par, measuring in at 609 yards from the championship tees. With slight dogleg right and an approximate fairway width of 39 yards, this hole requires players to hit their tee shots accurately in order to set up for the approach shot. The green has 15385 sq ft of area and 3% greenside bunkers that will challenge even the most experienced golfers. Depending on your skill level, club selection off the tee should range from driver if you are looking for maximum distance or longer irons if accuracy is more important than distance. In either case, you’ll need to take into account local weather conditions as they can vary greatly across each season - windy days may require shorter clubs while altitude changes could affect ball flight distances significantly. For your approach shot, any club between 7 iron (140 yards) and pitching wedge (120 yards) should suffice depending on how far away from the pin you end up after your tee shot.
