Hole 11 at Philadelphia Cricket Club

Par 4 • 427 Yards • Flourtown, Pennsylvania

Enhanced Content

Tough

Philadelphia Cricket Club hole 11 presents a deceptively challenging 427-yard par 4 that demands both precision and course management. This straight-away layout may appear straightforward from the tee, but the absence of significant hazards places premium emphasis on accurate positioning and distance control. The tee shot requires threading the fairway to set up an optimal approach angle to the small, well-protected green complex. What makes this hole particularly testing is the green's compact dimensions, which reward precise iron play and punish wayward approach shots. The elevated status as the fourth handicap hole reflects the subtle difficulties that can quickly turn a routine par into a frustrating bogey, making strategic club selection and committed execution essential for success.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

The fairway dramatically narrows from 38 yards at 250 yards to just 8 yards at 200 yards, so consider laying up with a mid-iron to the wider landing area at 250 yards rather than risking driver into the bottleneck.

approach

From the 250-yard layup position, you'll face a 177-yard approach to a generous 5,217 square foot green that measures 34 yards deep by 24 yards wide - perfect for a controlled mid-iron shot.

hazard warning

Three bunkers guard the green complex at 420.1, 411.0, and 283.6 yards from the tee - the closer bunkers at 420 and 411 yards will catch errant approach shots, so club selection and accuracy are crucial.

tee shot

With no designated landing zone marked from the tee, course management becomes critical - the extreme fairway narrowing at 200 yards suggests this hole rewards strategic positioning over distance.

approach

This 427-yard par 4 plays longer than many par 4s, so don't be afraid to take one extra club on your approach shot to ensure you reach the back portion of the 34-yard deep green.
