Hole 11 Discussion

The 11th hole is a short par 4 that plays to a blind ridge, after which the land drops straight down to a green set in on the other side of a steep valley.

The tee shot gives players a choice: lay up or play over the ridge. There is a right-side fairway bunker at the ridge line, and it should be easily clearable for longer players. Laying back and the player will have a wedge into the green. Clear the bunker, though, and players have a chance to roll up (or even on) the green. However, missing right or left will leave players in the trees, or even in a greenside bunker.

The green itself has a ridge down the center, and generally rolls back to front. There is a bit of a false front, so being below the hole is will certainly help players.
