The plan for No. 11

A central drive keeps the sandy native ground from dictating the approach.

Off the tee

Give both sides of the fairway a margin. A ball in wiregrass can remove the option of a clean approach even when the green remains visible.

Approach & recovery

Right-center of the green is the resort's conservative target. Adjust only after assessing the actual flag and the quality of your lie.

On the green

Use the central putting surface as the first objective. A longer putt is a workable outcome when the alternative is a short-sided recovery.

Watch for
