Hole 11 at Pelican Golf Club

Par 4369 Yards • Belleair, Florida

Enhanced Content
Moderate

Pelican Golf Club hole 11 rewards precision over power, bending gracefully left through Belleair's coastal landscape at a manageable 369.0 yards. This par 4 demands golfers shape their tee shot along the dogleg left, favoring the inside line to unlock the ideal approach angle into the green complex. A single greenside bunker guards the putting surface, punishing shots that drift right and testing short-game creativity for anyone who finds its sandy depths.

Though it carries a modest 14 handicap, the hole's charm lies in its subtlety—strategic placement matters more than brute distance. The dogleg forces a decision off the tee: challenge the corner for a shorter approach, or play conservatively and rely on a sharper iron into the green. Pelican's classic Florida character shines through here, making hole 11 a thoughtful, memorable test.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

The fairway widens significantly from 54 yards at 200y to 80 yards at 250y, so favor a driver or 3-wood to reach the wider landing zone beyond 250 yards if you can carry it safely.

hazard warning

Bunkers cluster tightly around 272-310 yards, directly in range for longer hitters; consider a club that lands short of 272y or carries well past 310y to avoid this trio of hazards.

tee shot

At only 369 yards, this par 4 may tempt big hitters to challenge the bunkers at 306.8-310y; laying up to the 54-yard-wide zone at 200y is the safer play for most skill levels.

approach

With a medium-sized green (5384 sq ft, 28y x 37y), precise iron play is required—club selection should account for the shorter 28-yard width to avoid missing left or right.

green

The green's 37-yard depth allows some margin for distance control, but the 28-yard width demands accuracy on approach shots, especially when pin positions are near the edges.
