The 11th hole at Broken Sound Club's Old Course represents Rees Jones' masterful touch in creating deceptively challenging golf. This 345-yard par 4 may appear straightforward, but its compact green demands precision over power. The straight layout invites aggressive tee shots, yet the small putting surface punishes wayward approach shots with difficult recovery situations. Smart golfers favor position over distance, leaving themselves a comfortable wedge into the tight target. The absence of major hazards shifts the focus entirely to accuracy and course management, making this a true test of iron play. This hole epitomizes the refined elegance that defines Broken Sound's championship golf experience.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

This short par 4 offers strategic options off the tee. The fairway widens significantly from 28 yards at the 200-yard mark to 41 yards at 250 yards, making a longer drive more forgiving despite the increased distance.

approach

With the hole measuring just 345 yards, most players will have a short iron approach shot. Plan your tee shot to leave yourself a comfortable wedge distance to attack the pin on this compact green.

hazard warning

Three bunkers guard the green complex at distances of 314.6, 329.4, and 332.4 yards from the tee. These greenside bunkers are positioned to catch aggressive approach shots, so focus on accuracy over distance on your second shot.

green

The green is relatively small at 3,711 square feet with dimensions of 17 yards by 33 yards. This compact target rewards precise approach shots and makes distance control crucial for setting up birdie opportunities.

tee shot

Consider laying up with a mid-iron or hybrid to the 200-yard area where the fairway is narrower at 28 yards wide. This conservative strategy leaves a full wedge shot and avoids the greenside bunkers that begin around 315 yards.
