Morgan Run Resort & Club - North Hole by Hole - 15th Hole

Hole 15 at Morgan Run Resort & Club - North is a challenging par 4 that requires both accuracy and strategy. Located in Rancho Santa Fe, California, this hole plays at a distance of 376 yards from the Pro tees and has a handicap rating of 2. The Men's teebox also measures at 367 yards with the same handicap rating.

The fairway on this hole is relatively wide, measuring at about 37 yards in width. However, it curves slightly to the right, making it important for golfers to aim their tee shot towards the left side of the fairway in order to have an optimal angle for their approach shot.

One of the main features of Hole 15 is its water hazard located on the right side of the fairway. This adds an element of risk to any shots hit too far to the right off the tee or on approach shots. Therefore, it may be advisable for golfers who struggle with accuracy off their driver to consider using a shorter club such as a hybrid or long iron for more control.

For those brave enough to take on this challenge with their driver, hitting around ~217 yards should leave them with approximately ~159 yards remaining into one of Morgan Run's largest greens measuring at around 7984 sq ft.

However, depending on weather conditions which can vary greatly throughout each season in Rancho Santa Fe (e.g., high altitude during summer months leading to increased ball flight distances), players may need adjust accordingly by clubbing down perhaps even two clubs if necessary when faced against strong winds coming from behind them (typically Westward) especially during winter months where temperatures drop significantly creating denser air resulting into reduced ball flights).

Approaching Hole #15 presents another challenge due its small green size relative compared other holes found here given how large most greens are overall throughout course). With only three bunkers scattered strategically near front and sides surrounding edges close proximity green, it is important to take note that these bunkers account for only 2% of the total area. While this may seem like a low percentage, they are placed in such a way that they can easily catch errant shots and add strokes to your score.

For the average golfer hitting around ~140 yards with their 7 iron or ~120 yards with their pitching wedge, aiming towards the middle of the green should be a safe play. However, if you're feeling confident with your approach game and want to attack the pin, make sure to take into consideration any wind factors as well as landing zones near bunkers which could potentially result in tough up-and-down situations.

Overall, Hole #15 at Morgan Run Resort & Club - North offers both risk and reward opportunities for golfers who are able to execute precise shots off the tee and on approach. With its challenging water hazard and strategically placed bunkers guarding a relatively small green size compared to others on this course (especially given how large most greens are overall throughout), players must carefully consider their club selection and shot placement in order to improve scoring on this hole.
