Hole 11 at Westwoods Golf Club is a challenging par 3 that measures 236 yards from the championship tees and has a handicap of 6. This hole requires precision and strategy, as it is one of the longer par 3s on the course. The tee shot will need to carry approximately 217 yards in order to reach the green, making it crucial for golfers to select an appropriate club based on their individual distance capabilities.
During warmer seasons with higher temperatures, players may experience slightly longer ball flight due to decreased air density at this altitude. However, during colder seasons or when there is wind present, players should expect shorter ball flight due to increased air density.
The green area for hole 11 spans over an impressive 11362 square feet and does not feature any water hazards. However, there are two bunkers located near the front of the green which must be taken into consideration when approaching this hole. These greenside bunkers make up only about 2% of total bunker coverage on this hole but can still greatly impact scoring if not navigated properly.
For male golfers who hit a driver around ~217 yards off the tee, using a long iron such as a hybrid or even fairway wood might be more suitable for reaching the green in regulation. For female golfers who typically hit shorter distances off the tee box (~178 yards), selecting a mid-to-short iron like a seven iron or pitching wedge would likely provide better results.
Overall, Hole 11 at Westwoods Golf Club offers both challenges and opportunities for skilled players looking to improve their scorecard. With proper club selection and strategic play around potential hazards like greenside bunkers, golfers have potential for success on this demanding par three.
