When considering club selection for your tee shot and approach shots, keep in mind that weather conditions can greatly affect ball flight here at SCGA Member's Club. In warmer seasons such as summer or fall when temperatures are higher and altitude may be lower due to dry air, expect your ball to fly further than usual. On the other hand, during colder seasons like winter or spring when temperatures drop and humidity rises causing denser air, plan for shorter distances.

For an average golfer who drives approximately 217 yards off the tee box using a driver club, I recommend using either a fairway wood or long iron for this hole depending on wind conditions. With an expected distance of around140-150 yards using these clubs based on our inferred data and statistics provided above would be ideal.

As you approach the green from approximately120-130 yards away (using pitching wedge), take note that accuracy is key here as missing left or right could result in landing in one of those greenside bunkers we mentioned earlier which could make getting up-and-down for par more difficult. Overall, a smart and strategic approach to this hole will surely help improve your scoring on this challenging par 3 at SCGA Member's Club at Rancho California, The.
