Hole 11 at Mountain High Golf Course
Par 3 • 132 Yards • Bend, Oregon
Mountain High Golf Course hole 11 presents a deceptively challenging 132-yard par 3 that demands precision over power. Despite its modest length, this short iron test carries the course's number one handicap rating, revealing its true bite. The straight shot to a small green requires pinpoint accuracy, as there's little margin for error around the putting surface.
With no significant hazards to distract, golfers might expect a straightforward approach, but the compact target and elevated mountain setting create optical illusions that can fool even seasoned players. Club selection becomes critical in Bend's thin air, where distances play differently than at sea level. The small green complex rewards those who commit fully to their yardage, punishing tentative swings that come up short or aggressive approaches that fly long into trouble.

Strategy Tips
With only 132 yards to the pin, this is a short iron or wedge hole where accuracy trumps distance. Focus on smooth tempo and solid contact rather than trying to muscle the shot.
The green measures just 19 yards wide by 27 yards deep (2,803 sq ft), making it a relatively small target. Club selection and distance control are critical - being pin-high is more important than being perfectly on line.
Since there's no fairway to bail out to (0 yards at both 200y and 250y), you must commit to hitting the green. Take one extra club and swing easy rather than forcing a shorter iron.
With no identified bunkers around the green, your main concern is avoiding short-sided positions. Favor the center of the green and let your putting handle the rest.
This par 3 is ideal for working on your short iron. Launch monitors from $600 let you practice this exact shot with real course data from home.
