Hole 7 at SCGA Member's Club at Rancho California, The is a short but challenging par 4 that requires accuracy and strategy to score well. Located in Murrieta, California with an altitude of approximately 1,000 feet above sea level, this hole can be impacted by weather conditions such as wind and temperature changes throughout the year.
From the championship tees, Hole 7 measures 348 yards with a slight dogleg left. The fairway is narrow, measuring only about 28 yards wide. With a handicap of 15, this hole may seem easy on paper but it can prove to be tricky for golfers who are not prepared.
For the average golfer hitting drives around 217 yards off the tee box, using a driver here might not be the best strategy as there are three bunkers strategically placed along the right side of the fairway that could come into play. Instead, consider hitting a hybrid or long iron to ensure staying in play on this tight fairway.
The approach shot will likely require another strategic decision due to its short distance from tee to green. For those who hit their pitching wedge around 120 yards and their seven iron around140 yards (as inferred from provided chart), choosing between these two clubs would depend on factors such as wind direction and strength as well as any potential elevation changes.
The green itself is relatively small compared to others on this course at just over8000 square feet with only two percent greenside bunkers which should provide some comfort when aiming for your target area. However don't let your guard down just yet - missing slightly left or right could result in tough up-and-down shots due to undulating terrain surrounding parts of this green complex.
In summary: Aiming for accuracy rather than distance off both tee box and approach shots will greatly increase chances of scoring well on Hole #7 at SCGA Member's Club at Rancho California while keeping in mind the impact of weather conditions on ball flight. Keep an eye out for those strategically placed bunkers and don't underestimate the difficulty of this seemingly short par 4.
