Welcome to hole 11 at Bradenton Country Club in sunny Bradenton, Florida! This challenging par 4 offers a variety of tee box options for golfers of all skill levels, with the Championship tees measuring in at 380 yards. The slight dogleg left requires an accurate tee shot to avoid the water that runs along the entire left side of the fairway. With only a narrow fairway width of 19 yards, precision off the tee is crucial.
For those who can hit their driver around 217 yards, we recommend using it off the tee to maximize distance and set up for a shorter approach shot. However, if you struggle with accuracy or prefer more control off the tee, consider using a hybrid or long iron instead.
As you approach your second shot on this relatively short par 4, keep in mind that there are six bunkers strategically placed throughout the hole. Greenside bunkers make up just three percent of total bunkers on this green, so focus on hitting your approach shot onto the putting surface rather than trying to carry any hazards.
The green itself measures at a manageable size of 6602 square feet and has minimal curvature. However, be aware that wind conditions may impact ball flight and potentially make club selection tricky.
Overall, hole 11 presents as one of the easier holes on this course but still demands accuracy and strategic play to score well. Good luck!
