Hole 13 Discussion

The 13th is a short par 3 that plays to a semi-obscured green that slopes back-left to front-right. The green is angled to support a draw, but is short enough that any shot shape should work. The bunkers left of the green continue around the back of the hill, but most of them are shallow and playable. There is a sizable collection area back-left of the green that should funnel balls back toward the green, and a helpful hillock short-right.

The subtle contours on the putting surface may trip up some players, so landing close to the pin will be very beneficial.


According to Gil Hanse, the hole is a restoration of an original MacKenzie hole from his work in the 1920s.
