I'll take either as on my course from the tees I play it's just about impossible

Par 5 in two. Eagles are where it is at. We have no par 4's on my course that I can reach in 1.
Reaching a long par 5 in 2 because I rarely play a course with a driveable par 4, maybe once every few years. The shortest par 4 at my home course is 356/370 off the regular/back tees. It is the only par 4 on the course under 406 yards. In my over 6 years at my club I have never heard of anyone driving any of the par 4's.
Just my opinion but I think every course should have a driveable par 4 as long as there is risk/reward involved and not just 290 yards straight away.
Close to the same as you, about every round and half or 2 I am on par 5 in 2, and this year playing 100 rounds I think I got to 3 par 4s in one shot for the year.I'm normally play tees that are 6600-7200 yards and it's super rare for me to find a par 4 under 340 yards. I like the idea of a 300 yard par 4 but I guess the courses I choose just don't have them. Once or twice a year I'll play in a scramble and I often find a par 4 in the 320 or less range that I'll have a go at but during normal play a drivable par 4 only comes up about once every 200 rounds. For me reaching a par 5 in 2 happens nearly every round while reaching a par 4 is less common than a speeding ticket.
I've never come close to doing either, but it sure would be handy. Then I could 4 putt and still escape with a bogey.
I'd say a Par 5 in 2 as it's more doable for me, but with the right conditions if I COULD drive a par 4 it would feel way better!
