The 11th is a classic
medium length par 5.
Picturesque and tempting, the hole
begins with one of the most intimidating tee shots on the course - a
precise drive through a very narrow chute (particularly from the
back tee) with trees protecting the left side and the cornfield to
the right.
After a successful drive, course
management is the key to success at #11. A safe second shot should
be played to 100-120 yards from the green, where the fairway is
generous, leaving only a short iron to the demanding green.
The most undulating green on the
course is hard pressed into the southwest corner of the property and
offers no room for error on the approach. A series of small
treacherous bunkers frame the left side while shots missing the
elevated green will be cast off to Mcgillvery Creek beyond the green
or the cornfield out of bounds to the right.
Good players have successfully
reached the green in two on #11 and been rewarded with a chance for
eagle. However, with only a slight error, such an aggressive
approach will more often lead to double bogey or worse.
