Hole 11 at Briarwood Golf Course
Par 4 • 276 Yards • Broadview Heights, Ohio
The shortest par 4 at Briarwood Golf Course hole 11 presents a deceptive challenge that demands precision over power. At just 276 yards, this straight-away hole tempts players to reach the small green in regulation, but club selection becomes critical on this risk-reward opportunity. The absence of major hazards creates a clean look from the tee, yet the compact green complex requires an accurate approach shot to avoid difficult recovery situations.

This strategic gem proves that length doesn't determine difficulty, making it a memorable test of course management skills.

This extremely short par 4 at only 276 yards presents a strategic dilemma - the fairway is completely absent at the 200-yard mark, creating a forced carry or layup situation that requires precise club selection.
Consider laying up short of the trouble zone and leaving yourself a full wedge approach, as the fairway opens to 33 yards wide at the 250-yard mark - perfect for a controlled second shot.
The compact green measuring just 22 yards by 26 yards demands precise approach shots - with only 3,644 square feet of target area, club up and aim for the center to avoid short-siding yourself.
Aggressive players may attempt to drive the green on this 276-yard hole, but must successfully clear the hazard area where the landing zone shows 0 yards from the tee - making this a high-risk, high-reward decision.
With the green's modest dimensions of 22 by 26 yards, focus on lag putting and leave approaches below the hole when possible - the small target makes three-putts costly on this short par 4.
This 276-yard par 4 is ideal for working on your driver accuracy. Launch monitors from $600 let you practice this exact shot with real course data from home.
