Challenging

The 11th hole at Olympia Fields Country Club (North Course) presents a deceptively challenging par 4 that demands precision over power. At 397 yards, this straight-away hole appears straightforward from the tee, but its true test lies in the approach to a small, well-protected green complex. The absence of major hazards might suggest an easier scoring opportunity, yet the compact target requires surgical accuracy with mid-to-short irons. Players must resist the urge to attack aggressively, as the small green punishes wayward approach shots with difficult recovery situations. This hole exemplifies Olympia Fields' reputation for rewarding strategic thinking and precise execution over brute force, making it a memorable test of golf fundamentals.

green

The generous 5,980 square foot green offers multiple pin positions, but focus on hitting the center of this 30x30 yard target rather than attacking tight pins on this demanding par 4.
