Hole 11 at Rock Spring Club is a challenging par 4, with a length of 429 yards from the championship tees. The hole has a handicap of 6, indicating that it is one of the more difficult holes on the course. From the tee box, players will need to navigate their way around a slight dogleg right and avoid five strategically placed bunkers.
The fairway width for this hole is approximately 47 yards, providing some room for error off the tee. However, accuracy will be key in order to set up an ideal approach shot to the green.
In terms of club selection off the tee, our average golfer should consider using their driver which averages around 217 yards in distance. Depending on wind conditions and altitude changes (as Rock Spring Club sits at an elevation of approximately 400 feet above sea level), they may need to adjust their aim accordingly.
Once safely on the fairway, players will face an approach shot into a large green area measuring over 10,500 square feet. With only two percent greenside bunkers as a percentage of total bunkers on this hole, there is less risk involved in aiming for the center or back portion of the green.
Based on our golfer's pitching wedge averaging around 120 yards in distance and factoring in any potential weather conditions such as strong winds or colder temperatures during winter months (which can impact ball flight), it would be wise to aim for slightly shorter than usual shots onto this well-protected green.
Overall, Hole #11 at Rock Spring Club requires precision and strategic decision-making both off and approaching its generous but well-guarded putting surface.
