Les Furber made great use of what nature provided when laying
out Salmon Arm Golf Club's 407-yard 11th hole. The first glance
can only be described as breathtaking.
From an elevated tee box, the entire tree-lined hole comes into
view. Be sure to navigate away from the long, deep gully that
interrupts the tree line on the left, where errant tee shots are
destined to be gobbled up. The real strategy to playing the
hole emanates from the 200-foot-tall Douglas fir that must be
negotiated on the second shot to an elevated, narrow two-tier
green. Tee shots left short of this tree will force you to play over
the entire expanse of the scrub pine and fescue-filled gully to
reach the green; tee shots not long enough will require second
shots to be curved to the left or right around the imposing tree.
The green's considerable elevation change between the two
tiers puts a premium on being on the correct tier when making
the approach.
Overcompensating to avoid one hazard on this hole will bring
you hard against another. No matter your journey or score, this is
one hole you will remember.
