Hole 11 at Shoal Creek Golf Club in Birmingham, Alabama is a par 5 that measures 525 yards from the championship tees and 360 yards from the senior women's tees. With a slight dogleg right, this hole requires accuracy off the tee to avoid two greenside bunkers which account for 4% of total hazards on the hole.

Depending on the season, local weather can affect ball flight conditions due to altitude, temperature and/or wind. For example, during summer months temperatures may be higher resulting in longer drives while winter months may require shorter shots due to colder temperatures reducing distance off the clubface. Generally speaking, golfers should aim for a spot between 217-250 yards away with their driver followed by an approach shot ranging anywhere from 120-140 yards with their 7 iron or pitching wedge depending on how far they've hit it off the tee box.
