The plan for No. 11
The 11th at Winged Foot Golf Club (East Course) is a 362.0-yard par 4 that plays straightaway.
Off the tee
The tee shot strategy centers on finding the optimal position for your approach rather than maximizing distance. Most players will benefit from a controlled drive with a 3-wood or hybrid, aiming for the center-right portion of the fairway to set up the best angle into the green. The straight layout allows for an aggressive target line down the middle, but precision trumps power here. Focus on a smooth tempo and solid contact rather than trying to overpower the hole - leaving yourself 100-120 yards out provides the ideal approach distance for most golfers.
Approach & recovery
The approach shot is where this hole's true character emerges. With a small green as your target, club selection becomes critical - it's better to be slightly long with a controlled swing than short with an aggressive one. The compact putting surface leaves little margin for error, so commit to your yardage and trust your club selection. Aim for the center of the green unless the pin position clearly favors one side. The key is avoiding the temptation to get too aggressive with pin hunting on such a small target.
On the green
The small green size means every putt becomes crucial for scoring. Focus on speed control above all else, as running putts past the hole on a compact surface can leave challenging comeback attempts. Read the green carefully from multiple angles, as subtle breaks can be magnified on shorter putts. Position your approach shots to leave uphill putts when possible, as these provide better speed control and a more aggressive putting stroke.
