Hole 4 at Morgan Run Resort & Club - South is a challenging par 4, with a distance of 453 yards from the Pro teebox. The hole has a slight dogleg to the right and is ranked as the second most difficult hole on the course with a handicap of 2. From the Men's teebox, which measures at 414 yards, this hole still presents a significant challenge for golfers.

The fairway width for Hole 4 is relatively narrow at only 32 yards, making accuracy off the tee crucial. As you approach your drive, keep in mind that there are five bunkers scattered throughout this hole that could come into play if you stray too far off target.

For an average golfer who hits their driver around 217 yards, it may be wise to use a more accurate club like a hybrid or long iron off the tee to ensure they stay in play and avoid any potential hazards. This will leave them with an approach shot of approximately 196 yards (assuming they hit their hybrid/long iron around ~180-200 yards).

As you make your way towards the green, take note that there are greenside bunkers as well but they only make up about three percent of total bunkers on this hole. So while not as much of a concern compared to other holes on this course, it's still important to consider when planning out your approach shot.

The green itself measures at approximately 7523 sq ft and features subtle undulations which can make putting tricky if you're not familiar with its breaks and slopes.

In terms of weather conditions, Rancho Santa Fe experiences mild temperatures year-round due to its coastal location in Southern California. However, wind can often pick up in certain seasons so it's important for golfers to adjust accordingly during their round.

Overall,Hole #4 requires precision and strategy from both off-the-tee and approaching shots in order to score well. With a challenging layout and potential for windy conditions, it's important to stay focused and execute smart shots in order to conquer this tough par 4.
