Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, Part 8, Part 9, Part 10
Hole 11: 213 yards
Look, it's another long and difficult par 3. Considering this is a resort course, there is really not a lot of variety or let-up on these par 3's. None of them are particularly easy or inviting targets. Although out of the six par 3's on the course, I would say this one is the most difficult. Number 8 is a little longer, but at least on the surface, it's a little more inviting target. It almost feels like a little par 4, since it has a full fairway, a feature most par 3's don't have. Maybe that's why it feels like such a weird hole. (Note: Not my original idea.)
But we've already talked about number 8. This is number 11, and the view from the tee does not inspire a lot of confidence. The green is pretty shallow, and there are bunkers front left and right of the green. The hole location in the picture is probably the easiest one you'll ever see. They like to put it behind the left bunker, which puts the hole almost out of reach, considering you need a mid-iron to get to the hole. Actually, a week ago when I played here, I managed to hit a nice little draw around the bunker to about seven feet. It was a fantastic shot, which would have been even better if I had meant to hit it like that. No, I was aiming at the right side and got lucky.
