Hole 11 at Yellowstone Country Club

Par 4 • 400 Yards • Billings, Montana

Enhanced Content

Challenging

The 11th hole at Yellowstone Country Club presents a deceptively straightforward par 4 that rewards precision over power. This 400-yard test features a generous fairway that invites aggressive tee shots, but the real challenge lies in the approach to a small, well-protected green complex. Without major hazards to intimidate, golfers can focus purely on execution and course management. The straight layout demands accurate iron play into the compact putting surface, where pin position becomes crucial for scoring opportunities. Smart players will favor the center of the green rather than hunting pins, as the small target leaves little margin for error. This hole epitomizes strategic golf design, proving that sometimes the absence of obvious trouble creates the most demanding test of skill and mental fortitude.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

Target the 200-yard mark where the fairway is at its widest point of 49 yards, giving you maximum margin for error and the best angle into the green.

tee shot

Avoid driving past 250 yards where the fairway dramatically narrows to just 24 yards wide - laying back with a 3-wood or hybrid keeps you in the safe zone.

approach

From the ideal 200-yard tee shot position, you'll have approximately 200 yards remaining to a generously-sized green measuring 4,819 square feet - perfect for a mid-iron approach.

hazard warning

Be aware of bunkers positioned at 351.6 yards from the tee - while not reachable for most players, longer hitters who push their drives could find trouble here.

green

The green's rectangular shape (26 yards wide by 30 yards deep) offers a good target, but focus on the center as missing either side could leave difficult recovery shots.
