Hole 11 at PGA National Resort and Spa 'The Haig Course' is a challenging par 4, with a distance of 395 yards from the Pro teebox, making it one of the longer holes on the course. The Men's teebox offers a slightly shorter distance at 364 yards, while the Women's teebox provides an even shorter option at 331 yards.
This hole features a slight dogleg left, requiring players to strategically plan their approach shots in order to avoid potential hazards. With water present along the left side of the fairway and greenside bunkers accounting for only 1% of total bunker coverage, accuracy off the tee is crucial.
In terms of club selection, our average golfer can expect to hit their driver approximately 217 yards off the tee. This leaves them with around 178 yards (for men) or 147 yards (for women) for their approach shot. Depending on weather conditions such as altitude and wind speed/direction, adjustments may need to be made when selecting clubs.
With four bunkers scattered throughout this hole and an average green size of just over 8,500 square feet, precision is key when approaching this green in regulation. Our recommended club choices would be a long iron or hybrid for men (~178-200 yds), and possibly even a fairway wood for women (~147-165 yds).
Overall, Hole 11 demands both length and accuracy from golfers in order to score well. Strategic planning off the tee will set up players nicely for their approach shots onto this well-guarded green complex. Keep an eye out for any changes in weather conditions that may affect ball flight during your round!

Some playing tips for the average golfer on Hole 11 at PGA National Resort and Spa 'The Haig Course' could include:
1. Plan your tee shot carefully: With water present along the left side of the fairway, it is important to aim towards the right side off the tee in order to avoid potential hazards. Consider using a club that you feel confident with in terms of accuracy rather than distance.
