Hole 11 at Calusa Lakes Golf Club is a challenging par 5 that requires strategic thinking and precision to navigate successfully. Located in Nokomis, Florida, this hole measures 511 yards from the championship tees and has a handicap of 4.

The tee shot on this hole should be aimed towards the left side of the fairway as it features a slight dogleg left. The average golfer hitting a driver ~217 yards should aim for approximately ~240 yards off the tee to set up an ideal position for their second shot. However, beware of water hazards located on both sides of the fairway which can come into play with errant shots.

For approach shots, keep in mind that this green is relatively small at only 5773 sq ft and has no greenside bunkers. This means that players have more room around the green to miss their approach shots without being penalized by sand traps. The key here will be accuracy rather than power.

During warmer seasons in Florida, temperatures can rise significantly which may affect ball flight conditions. With higher temperatures comes less dense air which may cause balls to fly further than expected. Additionally, wind conditions can also impact ball flight so pay attention to weather forecasts before making club selections.

Overall, Hole 11 at Calusa Lakes Golf Club offers players a challenge with its narrow fairway and water hazards but also provides some relief with no greenside bunkers around the green area. Keep these factors in mind when strategizing your game plan for this hole throughout all four seasons in Florida.
