Hole 11 at TPC Boston
Par 3 • 231 Yards • Norton, Massachusetts
TPC Boston hole 11 stands as one of the most demanding one-shotters players will face all season, stretching to 231.0 yards and testing every element of a golfer's long-iron or hybrid game. This straight par 3 offers no tricks of geometry to hide behind—just a pure test of distance control and nerve. Woods lining the left side punish any pull off the tee, while a single greenside bunker guards the putting surface, ready to swallow shots that drift offline. Precision off the tee is paramount here; club selection becomes the defining decision, with even a slight miscalculation leading to a difficult up-and-down. It's a hole where discipline trumps aggression.

At 231 yards, this par 3 demands a long iron, hybrid, or fairway wood depending on conditions—club selection should prioritize solid contact over distance to avoid the bunker at 199.7 yards.
The bunker positioned at 199.7 yards sits well short of the green, so players should ensure their tee shot carries this distance comfortably rather than laying up short and risking the sand.
With 231 yards to cover and a medium-sized green as the target, favor a controlled trajectory that maximizes accuracy over raw distance, since missing the putting surface leaves a difficult up-and-down.
The green measures 41 yards by 29 yards (6,247 sq ft), giving enough width to work with on the tee shot—aim for the center of this medium green rather than pressing for pins tucked at the edges.
Given the 231-yard length and the medium green dimensions of 41y x 29y, less-skilled players should aim for the widest part of the green to leave a manageable two-putt, rather than attacking a specific flag position.
This par 3 is ideal for working on your long iron or hybrid. Launch monitors from $600 let you practice this exact shot with real course data from home.
