Hole 11 at White Horse Golf Club is a par 4 with a distance of 354 yards from the Championship tees. This hole has a handicap of 12, making it one of the more challenging holes on the course. The tee shot on this hole requires precision and strategy in order to set up an approach shot for success.
The fairway on Hole 11 is relatively wide, measuring approximately 45 yards in width. However, there are eight bunkers strategically placed throughout the fairway and around the green, making accuracy off the tee crucial. With only one percent of bunkers located greenside, players have a slightly better chance of avoiding them during their approach shots.
The slight dogleg right shape of this hole adds an extra element to consider when planning your strategy. A well-placed drive that follows the curvature of the fairway will leave you with a shorter approach shot to the green.
Altitude may also play a factor on this hole as White Horse Golf Club sits at an elevation above sea level. Players should take into account any potential changes in ball flight due to altitude when selecting their clubs for both their tee shot and approach.
In terms of club recommendations, using a driver off the tee may not be necessary given its length from each tee box type (Championship: ~217 yards). Instead, opting for a long iron or hybrid can provide more control and accuracy while still leaving enough distance for an manageable approach shot.
Speaking of approach shots, depending on where your drive lands and how far you hit it (7 iron: ~140 yards), players may find themselves hitting anywhere between short irons (~120 yards) all way down to wedges into this elevated green which measures over 10,000 square feet in size giving plenty room for error if needed.
Overall, Hole 11 at White Horse Golf Club offers golfers strategic challenges that require careful consideration before taking each shot. Precision and accuracy are key on this hole in order to set up a good scoring opportunity. With its beautiful surroundings and challenging layout, Hole 11 is sure to be a memorable experience for any golfer.
