Hole 11 at Bandon Dunes Resort (Bandon Trails Course) is a challenging par 5 that requires both accuracy and strategy to conquer. From the championship tees, this hole measures 445 yards with a handicap of 4, making it one of the more difficult holes on the course.
The tee shot on this hole should be aimed towards the right side of the fairway to avoid being blocked out by trees on the left. A well-placed drive will leave you in good position for your second shot, but beware of any wind as it can greatly impact ball flight conditions.
For an average golfer who hits their driver around 217 yards, I recommend hitting a hybrid or long iron off the tee to ensure accuracy and avoid any trouble. This will leave you with a longer approach shot, but it's better than risking finding yourself in trouble off the tee.
As you make your way down this slight dogleg right fairway, pay close attention to your approach shot as there are three bunkers guarding the green. These bunkers are strategically placed and require precise shots to avoid them. Additionally, there is water near the front of the green which adds another element of challenge.
From here on out, club selection becomes crucial as distance control is key when approaching this large green area measuring at over 28,000 square feet. For an average golfer who hits their pitching wedge around 120 yards, I recommend aiming for about half that distance to account for potential roll-out on this firm and fast greens.
It's also worth noting that depending on weather conditions such as altitude or temperature changes throughout each season at Bandon Dunes Resort (Bandon Trails Course), these distances may vary slightly so be sure to adjust accordingly.
Overall, Hole 11 offers a unique blend of challenges that test both skill and strategy for golfers looking to improve their scorecard. With proper planning and execution from tee to green, this hole can be conquered and add to the memorable experience at Bandon Dunes Resort.
