Morgan Run Resort & Club - North Hole by Hole - 16th Hole

Welcome to the 16th hole at Morgan Run Resort & Club - North in Rancho Santa Fe, California. This par 5 is a challenging yet rewarding hole, with a distance of 466 yards from the Pro tees and a handicap of 12. The slight dogleg left requires strategic shot placement off the tee to set up for a successful approach.

As you stand on the tee box, take note of the local weather conditions. With an average altitude and mild temperatures year-round in Southern California, your ball flight may be slightly affected by any wind present. Keep this in mind as you select your club for your opening drive.

For our average golfer who hits their driver around 217 yards, aim towards the right side of the fairway to avoid two bunkers strategically placed on either side. A well-placed drive will leave you with a manageable distance for your second shot.

As you approach your second shot, consider using a 7 iron if hitting from approximately 140 yards or less and pitching wedge if hitting from around 120 yards or less based on our golfer's capabilities. The green area measures at spacious 8352 square feet but beware of water hazards lurking just beyond it.

Speaking of greenside hazards, there are only two bunkers present on this hole making up only about 2% of total bunker coverage on this green. However, don't let that fool you into being careless with your approach shots as they can still cause trouble for those not paying attention.

With its combination of length and strategic design elements such as bunkers and water hazards, Hole #16 at Morgan Run Resort & Club - North is sure to test even the most skilled golfers' abilities while providing ample opportunities for birdies or better scores with careful planning and execution.
