Hole 11 at PGA National Resort and Spa 'Champion Course' is a challenging par 4 with a distance of 450 yards from the championship tees. The hole has a handicap of 4, making it one of the more difficult holes on the course. The tee shot will require accuracy as there is only a fairway width of 36 yards, and any shots that stray too far to the right may end up in water hazards.
During summer months, players should take into account the high temperatures and humidity in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida which can impact ball flight conditions. The altitude at this location is relatively low so players may not see much difference in their club distances compared to other courses.
The hole features a slight dogleg right, meaning that golfers will need to shape their shots accordingly for an optimal approach angle. There is only one bunker on this hole, located near the green area which measures approximately 10226 sq ft. This makes greenside bunkers as a % of total very low (1%), but still something to consider when planning your approach shot.
For average golfers who hit driver ~217 yards off the tee, it would be wise to aim for accuracy over distance on this hole. Aiming towards the left side of the fairway will provide better positioning for an approach shot towards the green.
Based on inferred data and statistics provided by PGA Tour Golfers who have played this course before, using a pitching wedge (~120 yards) or possibly even less could be beneficial for approaching this green due its size and potential pin placement locations around it depending upon weather conditions such as wind direction or speed changes throughout different seasons like fall or winter where cooler air temperature may affect ball flight slightly differently than warmer air temps during spring or summer months respectively.
Overall, Hole 11 at PGA National Resort and Spa 'Champion Course' requires strategic thinking and precision from both tee shot and approach play in order to score well. With its challenging distance, narrow fairway and potential hazards, it is definitely a hole that can make or break your round.
