Memorial Park Golf Course Hole by Hole - 11th Hole

Welcome to the 11th hole at Memorial Park Golf Course, located in Houston, Texas. This challenging par 3 offers a unique experience for all golfers, regardless of skill level.

From the championship tees, this hole measures a daunting 238 yards. With a handicap of 12, it is considered one of the more difficult holes on the course. However, don't let that intimidate you - with careful strategy and execution, you can conquer this hole.

The first thing to note about this hole is its length. At nearly 240 yards from the tee box to the green, it will require a strong and accurate drive off the tee. For our average golfer who hits their driver around 217 yards, I recommend taking an aggressive approach and aiming for distance rather than accuracy.

However, keep in mind that Memorial Park sits at an elevation of approximately 80 feet above sea level. This means that shots may carry further due to thinner air density compared to other courses at lower elevations. Take advantage of this by adjusting your club selection accordingly - perhaps using a longer club like a hybrid or even fairway wood instead of your driver.

Once you reach the green area which spans over 7,000 square feet (one of the larger greens on this course), you'll find only one bunker guarding it - making up just two percent of total bunkers on this green as opposed to others with higher percentages. Keep an eye out for any potential hazards such as water or rough areas surrounding the green.

For your approach shot onto the green from approximately ~140 yards out (using our average golfer's swing distances), I recommend using either your pitching wedge or possibly even your sand wedge if you're confident in your short game abilities.

When considering weather conditions throughout each season here in Houston - known for its hot summers and mild winters - be prepared for warmer temperatures during peak summer months which may affect ball flight distance. In contrast, cooler temperatures during winter months may require adjustments to your club selection.

Overall, the 11th hole at Memorial Park Golf Course is a challenging yet rewarding par 3 that will test your skills and strategic thinking. With careful planning and execution, you can navigate this hole successfully and continue on with your round. Good luck!
