Jackson,
Would you expand on your comment that #11 is the perfect amount uphill?
I am curious in hearing your take on it, as I personally feel it is too uphill.
Growing up in Sydney, I've played on a lot of golf courses that are too steep. I get tired at firing at pins cut above my head.
I have no idea what the % gradient is, but it's a hill that is clearly significant, but isn't a lung-burner to walk. And the second shot visually sets up perfectly with that hill, because none of the foreground features obscures those further away. Fairway, barranca, green, rear bunkers and rear hill all sit comfortably and all visible. In that sense it just works.
And because the climb is fairly constant from tee to green, I think that's a much better state of affairs than the same climb being absorbed through a couple of steep rises on an otherwise flat hole.
I also find an uphill lie tends to generate a hook shape for a right-hander, where that approach shot seems to be asking me for a fade, so that is a great challenge.
But the hill is noticeable and constant without being physically overwhelming or creating a poor approach shot to a blind, benched green. That shot is awkward in the right ways. I love it.
