Hole #11: GolfScout's Take
The scorecard suggests hole 11 is the 2nd toughest on the course. It's absolutely the most nuanced hole. At 428 yards from the back tee, with OB to the right, a mischievously placed fairway bunker, and a water carry, this is a true test of midwestern golf. Buckle up.
The preferred landing area is either to the left of the fairway bunker, or just short of it. The short grass narrows considerably in the area of said bunker, so it's easier said than done. If you miss right, the trees can swallow up your ball, or worse, it might leak out of bounds into the industrial-looking storage sheds.
Missing left is not great either though. Water, trees, and bushes line the left of 11. Accuracy is at a premium here.
Next up is the water hazard that separates you from the two-tiered green. If your tee shot found the rough, you're taking a gamble by going for it. You might want to lay up and try to get up and down from around 100 yards. It's about 85 yards from the very end of the fairway to the center of the green.
There's a big ridge on the green's right side which makes things interesting. Par is a very good score here.
