Hole #11 -
Don’t get sidetracked by the spectacular view of downtown Raleigh on this long par 5 or you will end up making a big number. The tee shot on number 11 is the least of your worries; perfect placement of your second shot should be your goal. There are several bunkers safeguarding the rising approach from 150 yards in. Distance control will suit you well approaching the small green because short, long, left and right are all defended by bunkers and native grasses. From tee to green, the hole accords the greatest views and sights on the golf course and its surroundings including: the view of downtown, Centennial Campus, the Bell Tower and the Smokestack. As the signature hole, the design concept really shines through, leaving the player with the impression that the course was just cut out of the hillside from high point to high point.
