Hole 16 at Morgan Run Resort & Club - South is a challenging par 4 with a slight dogleg right. From the championship tees, this hole measures 437 yards and has a handicap of 2, making it one of the more difficult holes on the course. The fairway width is approximately 33 yards, providing some room for error off the tee but still requiring accuracy to avoid any trouble.

The key to success on this hole is strategy and precision. With six bunkers strategically placed throughout the hole, including two greenside bunkers that make up just 2% of the total green area, avoiding these hazards will be crucial for scoring well. Additionally, there is no water on this hole so players can focus solely on navigating around or over the bunkers.

For an average golfer hitting their driver around 217 yards off the tee, they may want to consider using a less powerful club such as a hybrid or long iron to ensure they stay in play and avoid any potential trouble spots. This will also leave them with a shorter approach shot into the green.

Speaking of approach shots, based on our inferred data and statistics for average distances hit by an average golfer's clubs (7 iron ~140 yards and pitching wedge ~120 yards), we recommend aiming for about half that distance when selecting your club from your second shot position. This should give you enough margin of error while also allowing you to get close enough for birdie opportunities.

As far as weather conditions go here in Rancho Santa Fe, California across all four seasons (spring/summer/fall/winter), expect moderate temperatures with minimal wind interference due to its inland location away from coastal breezes. However, altitude may have some impact depending upon how high above sea level you are used to playing golf courses normally - so keep that in mind when selecting your clubs before each round!
