Welcome to the 8th hole at Morgan Run Resort & Club - North, located in beautiful Rancho Santa Fe, California. This par 3 hole is a true test of skill and strategy for golfers of all levels.
From the championship tees, this hole measures a challenging 196 yards. The slightly elevated tee box offers stunning views of the surrounding landscape but also means that altitude may impact your ball flight. Keep this in mind when choosing your club for both the tee shot and approach.
For our average golfer who hits a driver ~217 yards off the tee, we recommend using a long iron or hybrid to reach the green on this lengthy par 3. For those who can hit their driver over 240 yards consistently, you may be able to take advantage of some extra distance with favorable weather conditions.
Speaking of weather, it's important to note that Rancho Santa Fe experiences mild temperatures year-round with an average high of 72°F (22°C) and low humidity. However, wind can be a factor on this course so pay attention to its direction and strength before making your shot decisions.
The green on this hole measures an expansive 10,287 square feet and features only one bunker greenside which accounts for just 6% of total bunker coverage. While water does come into play on this hole, it should not pose too much risk unless you have an errant shot off the tee.
For our senior women golfers playing from their designated tees at just under half the distance (126 yards), we recommend using either a fairway wood or long iron depending on your personal preferences and strengths as well as any potential wind conditions.
No matter what level golfer you are though, remember that accuracy is key when approaching this well-protected green so choose your club wisely based on both distance and precision needs. Good luck!
