Hole 13 Discussion

Note: the official course guide has an error. The correct distances from the tee are swapped on the official image.

The scorecard makes this look like an easy par 5, but the 13th is another hole that will likely take the driver out of most players’ hands on the tee. The longest hitters could clear this hazard at great risk, but most will want to play an aggressive layup.

There is a semi-blind ridge hiding a creek that is very reachable for most players. If the tee shot crosses the ridge, the firm fairway could kick the ball right into trouble. Playing just sort of the ridge (holding the upslope), is likely the best strategy.

The approach to the green is fairly straight forward. The biggest dangers are along the left side, where a large bunker sits followed by two large bushes in deep rough that will make anything near them unplayable.


The best tee shot will hug the right side with a little right to left. Beware of going too far right, there is a lateral water hazard along the entire right side. The fence on the left is OB, so accuracy is required. The second shot is usually into the wind.
