The second hole at Morgan Run Resort & Club - North presents a deceptively straightforward par 4 that rewards precision over power.

The absence of major hazards allows golfers to focus purely on course management and club selection, making it an ideal hole for building confidence early in the round.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

With the fairway measuring just 12 yards wide at both the 200 and 250-yard marks, accuracy is paramount off the tee. Consider hitting a controlled 3-wood or hybrid to stay in the narrow landing zone rather than risking driver.

approach

From a well-positioned tee shot around 200 yards out, you'll have approximately 178 yards remaining to a generous green measuring 4,493 square feet. This gives you room to be aggressive with mid-irons.

hazard warning

Beware of bunkers positioned at 398 yards - well beyond the green on this 378-yard par 4. These likely protect a back pin position, so club selection is critical to avoid flying the green into trouble.

green

The green's rectangular shape (27 yards by 30 yards) provides a good target, but with bunkers just 20 yards behind the putting surface, precision is key. Favor the front portion of the green to avoid the back hazards.

tee shot
