Jordan,
I think one of the assets of the hole is that it doesn't overpower you, it doesn't require a very long shot.
At 155, it's within almost every golfer's ability to reach the green without pressing.
But, accuracy is at a premium and the consequences for missing the green can be dire.
With the tee lower than the green, the golfer immediately feels disadvantaged.
Wind can also be a huge factor complicating the golfer's decisions on the tee, even if the wind is helping.
Going long is the worst possble outcome for most golfers.
The convex shape of the green, falling off in front, makes the hole more difficult.
The severity of the greenside bunkers adds to the consequences should the golfer fail to hit the putting surfaces.
I've often wondered, on this hole, if a golfer misses the green, is he better off in the bunker or outside of the bunkers.
I usually prefer to be in the bunker, but, I'm not sure that's always the prefered choice on this hole.
In the modern era, when most courses are lengthening their par 3's, # 11 remains true to its roots and shot values, yet retains its challenge against the modern day golfer and his equipment.
It has to be one of the better par 3 holes in golf.
Doubtful that anyone can master it consistantly.
