Mission Hills Country Club, Dinah Shore Tournament Course
Rancho Mirage, CA
This week focuses on the 11th hole at Mission Hills Country Club, a good opportunity for scoring that forces players to choose a strategy from the tee.
480 Yards
The easiest hole on the golf course, this reachable par 5 offers great reward for players who execute two perfect shots. After a successfully executed drive, a false front and sand traps will heavily influence decisions, making the safer play towards the back of the green. Varying pin placements add to the difficulty once players are on the 30-yard deep the green.
536 Yards
From the 536 yard tees, players have to commit to a bold strategy and shape the ball left to right around the tall trees guarding the right side if they want to reach the green in two. The further left players choose to play their tee shot, the longer the approach into this green protected by a false front and sand traps on three sides.
480 Yards
The Aon Insight is that an aggressive execution is rewarded on this hole. Players last year who reached the green in regulation (80%) made birdie or better 42% of the time and there have 15 eagles in the last 3 years.
