Hole 11 at Torrey Pines Golf Club North Course is a challenging 467-yard, par 4. It's rated as the 2nd hardest hole on the course with a handicap of 2 from all teeboxes. From the championship tee, it plays as a slight dogleg left with an approximate fairway width of 31 yards and two bunkers located greenside - representing approximately 2% of total green area.
The temperature and altitude can affect ball flight conditions in La Jolla throughout all four seasons; during summer months temperatures tend to be higher while fall brings cooler weather but stronger winds. In winter, temperatures remain cool but winds are generally calmer than other times of year. Springtime offers milder temperatures with lighter breezes compared to other parts of the year.
Given its length, you'll likely need your driver off the tee here; if you're able to hit it straight down this long fairway, you should be rewarded for your effort by having an easier approach shot into this large 6663 sq ft green complex that slopes slightly from back to front. With 217 yard carry off the tee using driver and 140 yards using 7 iron for approach shots, make sure you take enough club when approaching so that your ball doesn't run through onto the false front or end up short in one of those pesky greenside bunkers!

Club Recommendations
1. Off the tee, use your driver to hit down the fairway and maximize your distance. Aim for straight shots as this will give you an easier approach shot into the large green complex.
2. Consider taking more club than usual when approaching so that your ball doesn't run through onto the false front or end up short in one of those pesky greenside bunkers!
3. Be aware of temperature and wind conditions on this hole; during summer months temperatures tend to be higher while fall brings cooler weather but stronger winds, winter offers cool temperatures but calmer winds, and springtime offers milder temperatures with lighter breezes compared to other parts of the year - adjust accordingly!
4. Utilize practice swings before each shot to get a feel for how far you need to hit it in order to reach the green safely without running through onto the false front or ending up short in one of those pesky greenside bunkers!
