Sports and RecreationsThe Club at Morgan Hill
Kelly Blake Moran, the up-and-coming architect responsible for noteworthy Hawk Pointe Golf Club just 15 miles away, didn't so much build Morgan Hill as he did sculpt it. And, given the extremely hilly, and thus, difficult to shape, land upon which the course sits, the sheer beauty and drama of what he created is really something to behold. Moran leveled out the key landing areas but was keen to avoid a disruptive flat, slope, flat, slope pattern.
