Welcome to the 12th hole at Morgan Run Resort & Club - South in Rancho Santa Fe, California. This par 3 is a challenging hole for golfers of all levels with a handicap of 16, making it one of the more difficult holes on the course.
From the championship tees, this hole measures 147 yards and requires precision off the tee. The average golfer should aim for a distance of approximately 140 yards with their driver to set up an ideal approach shot. However, keep in mind that altitude and weather conditions can impact ball flight, so be sure to adjust accordingly.
Once you've successfully navigated your tee shot, you'll find yourself facing a large green area measuring at over 9,000 square feet. But don't let its size fool you – there are still challenges ahead. With four bunkers strategically placed around the green and water lurking just beyond it, accuracy is key when approaching this green.
Speaking of bunkers, they make up only about 2% of total greenside area on this hole. While that may seem like good news for some golfers looking to avoid sand traps, it also means that these bunkers are well-placed and can easily come into play if not careful.
For your approach shot from approximately 120 yards (with pitching wedge), take note of any wind or temperature changes as they may affect your club selection and trajectory. And remember: always err on the side of caution when playing near water hazards – better safe than sorry!
Overall, this par-3 offers both beauty and challenge with its scenic views and strategic design elements. Good luck out there!
