This was the second hole in the 1934 Masters and has been the 11th since. Alister MacKenzie designed the hole without a bunker. Bob Jones added one in the center of the fairway, over a crest 240 yards out, for the 1935 Masters, but it was later eliminated. Gene Sarazen, who won in 1935, disapproved of the bunker. "I can't see it from the tee," he said. "Maybe because I'm too short."

Before the 1951 Masters, the creek left of the green was dammed to form a pond. Another dam raised Rae's Creek, and the putting surface was reshaped to create pin placements near the water. Clifford Roberts, Robert Trent Jones and Byron Nelson all claimed credit for the idea. For 1952, a new elevated tee was chopped from pines left of the 10th green, straightening and lengthening the 11th and providing room for spectators.

Because back-hole locations proved not particularly hazardous, two bunkers, built into mounds for visibility, were installed behind the green. In 1965, the green was rebuilt to elevate it two feet. But a 1990 flood still washed away the putting surface. It was reconstructed to previous contours before the 1991 Masters, using then-new laser technology and a topographic map the club had on file.

The green was rebuilt yet again to raise the putting surface and surrounds another two feet (including the swale from which Larry Mize chipped in to win the 1987 Masters). The pond was raised one foot, two bunkers behind the green were replaced by one on the right, and the green was extended to bring hole locations within 20 yards of Rae's Creek. The tee was shifted to compensate for the loss of a large pine 180 yards in front.

The tee was moved back 35 yards and five yards to the right, nearly against the tree line. The fairway was regraded to eliminate kicks toward the green. "We moved this tee back three years ago, but we had to do it again because the hole was playing so short," said Tom Fazio, architect of all changes since 1998. "Why play safe when you're hitting a 9-iron or sand wedge for your second shot? We've made it a middle-iron again."

To further tighten the drive, 36 mature pine trees were transplanted to the right of the landing area. "It continues our long-standing emphasis on accuracy off the tee," said then-chairman Hootie Johnson. Four-time Masters champion Arnold Palmer, a club member, was critical of the new pines, pointing out that they removed one of the prime spectator vantage points on the back nine.

The tee was moved back again, making the 11th the first par 4 at Augusta National to measure more than 500 yards. Later, in reaction to Palmer's criticism, several pines on the right were removed. "The result allows for enhanced patron viewing," the club said. But grass beneath the remaining pines was replaced by pine straw, and more dogwoods were added left of the fairway, to punish errant drives.

Though it played as the second-toughest hole in 2021, Augusta National moved the tee to the left and back, adding 15 yards ahead of the 2022 Masters. The club also tweaked the contours of the fairway and adjusted the tree line on the right side—to discourage competitors from intentionally bailing out into the right pine straw for a better angle into the green.
