Hole 16 at Encinitas Ranch Golf Course is a slight dogleg left par 4, measuring 361 yards from the championship tees. The fairway has an average width of 42 yards and curves to the left, with five bunkers located in strategic positions along its length. With a handicap rating of 7, this hole should present a reasonable challenge for most golfers.
The green measures 9918 sq ft and four percent of it is covered by bunkers - so be sure to factor these in when planning your approach shot. Depending on wind conditions, you may want to aim slightly right off the tee as this will help set up an easier second shot into the green. In summer months temperatures can reach upwards of 80F (27C), which could affect ball flight distances; during winter months temperatures drop down to around 50F (10C). Wind speeds are moderate throughout all four seasons but can vary depending on altitude and direction changes due to surrounding terrain; look out for gusts that might cause your ball flight distance or trajectory to change unexpectedly!
For those playing from the pro tees at 324 yards or men's/women's tees at 282 yards respectively, consider hitting driver off the tee followed by either a 7 iron (~140 yds) or pitching wedge (~120 yds) into the green depending on how far away you are after your first shot.

Club Recommendations
For those playing from the championship tees at 361 yards, consider hitting a 3 wood off the tee followed by either a 9 iron (~130 yds) or pitching wedge (~110 yds) into the green depending on how far away you are after your first shot.
Be sure to take note of wind conditions before making your approach shots and aim accordingly - this could make all the difference in getting close enough for an easy putt! Lastly, be aware that there are five bunkers located along fairway which may come into play if you hit too far left or right; plan ahead so that you can avoid them as much as possible.
