Hole 11 at TPC Sawgrass (Dye Valley)

Par 3 • 227 Yards • Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida

Enhanced Content

Brutal

The most deceptive hole at TPC at Sawgrass, this 227-yard par 3 serves as the course's #1 handicap hole for good reason. What appears straightforward from the tee quickly reveals itself as a demanding test of precision and club selection. The elevated tee shot plays to a small, well-protected green that demands pinpoint accuracy with a mid to long iron. Wind conditions off the nearby Atlantic can dramatically affect club selection, making this hole play anywhere from a smooth 5-iron to a hard 4-iron depending on conditions. The green's subtle undulations punish approach shots that miss their target, while the surrounding collection areas ensure that anything less than committed swings find trouble. This hole epitomizes TPC at Sawgrass's philosophy of rewarding precision over power.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 227-yard par 3 demands precision with your tee shot - there's no fairway landing area, so you must carry your ball all the way to the green or risk finding trouble.

approach

Target the center of this generous 6,348 square foot green (34x32 yards) rather than attacking pins - the large putting surface gives you room for error on this long par 3.

hazard warning

Beware of bunkers positioned at 243.5 yards - while beyond the pin on this 227-yard hole, an overly aggressive shot or mishit long iron could find these greenside traps.

tee shot

Club selection is critical on this 227-yard one-shotter - most golfers will need a long iron, hybrid, or fairway wood to reach the putting surface in regulation.

green

With a relatively square green measuring 34 yards by 32 yards, focus on distance control rather than direction - missing short or long will leave difficult up-and-downs.
