Baltusrol Golf Club (Lower Course)
Springfield, NJ
No longer a straight away hole, the par 5, 11th provides players with an opportunity to go for the green in two, if they can take advantage with their tee shot.
Both fairways slope towards the creek separating the two fairways, requiring players to be precise with their first and second shot. If players decide to lay up, the pin position will ultimate dictate their ideal layup location, but a decision must be made about laying up on the left or right of the creek.
Finding the right-hand side of the fairway is advantageous if trying to reach the green in two, giving players the ideal angle with their second shot. The back left portion of the green should be the most receptive location if players are looking to reach the green with their second shot.
