Hole 4 at TPC San Antonio (Canyons Course) is a challenging par 3, with a distance of 182 yards from the championship tees. The hole has a handicap of 15, making it one of the more difficult holes on the course.
The tee shot for this hole requires precision and accuracy, as there are six bunkers strategically placed around the green. These greenside bunkers make up only 1% of the total green area, but they can still come into play for those who miss their target off the tee.
In terms of club selection, using a driver may not be necessary due to its limited distance potential on this hole. Instead, consider using a long iron or hybrid to ensure better control over your shot and avoid any hazards. For an average golfer hitting approximately 217 yards with their driver, I recommend using a mid-iron such as a 5 or 6 iron for optimal distance and accuracy.
The approach shot will require careful consideration as well since there is water surrounding part of the green. Depending on weather conditions such as wind and temperature that may impact ball flight, players should aim for slightly shorter distances than usual to account for these factors. A pitching wedge or short iron would be suitable options for an approach shot from around 140-150 yards out.
Overall, Hole #4 at TPC San Antonio (Canyons Course) demands both skill and strategy in order to achieve success. With precise shots off the tee and approach shots that take into account potential weather conditions and hazards present on this challenging par three hole, golfers can look forward to improving their scores on this beautiful course throughout all four seasons in San Antonio.

Club Recommendations
Some additional tips for playing Hole #4 at TPC San Antonio (Canyons Course) are:
1. Take note of the pin placement before teeing off. Aim for the side of the green where there are fewer bunkers to increase your chances of hitting the green.
2. Consider using a lower lofted club for your tee shot if you struggle with accuracy on longer shots. This will help you avoid any hazards and give you a better chance at making par or bogey.
3. If possible, practice hitting from different lies in bunkers to get comfortable with how they may affect your shots around the green.
4. Keep an eye on wind direction and speed, as it can greatly impact your approach shot distance and trajectory.
5. Don't be afraid to play conservatively on this hole by aiming for the center of the green rather than going for a difficult pin placement near water or bunkers.
6. Pay attention to how firm or soft the greens are playing that day, as this can also affect how much roll-out you'll get after landing on them.
7. Always have a plan B in case things don't go according to plan off the tee or during your approach shot - whether it's laying up short of hazards or taking an extra club to ensure reaching the putting surface safely.
8. Trust your swing and stay confident throughout each shot - even if it doesn't turn out exactly as planned, staying positive will help keep you focused and ready for success on future holes!
