Hole 13 at Aviara Golf Club is a beautiful, yet challenging par 4 that requires precision and strategy. Located in Carlsbad, California with an elevation of approximately 200 feet above sea level, this hole can be affected by varying weather conditions throughout the year. The distance from the championship tees is 374 yards and has a handicap of 14.
The tee shot on this hole will require accuracy as it features a hard dogleg left with water running along the entire left side of the fairway. With only four bunkers scattered throughout the course, golfers should be aware that there are no greenside bunkers to contend with on this hole. However, there is a bunker located on the right side of the fairway near the landing area for longer hitters.
For an average golfer hitting their driver around 217 yards off the tee, they may want to consider using a hybrid or long iron to avoid going too far left into potential trouble. This will leave them with a shorter approach shot into this slightly elevated green which measures at approximately 11,331 square feet.
When approaching this green from about 140 yards out (using a seven iron), golfers should take note that there are no greenside bunkers but instead two large bunkers positioned behind and to either side of the green. These hazards make it important for players to have good control over their ball flight in order to hit precise shots onto such a large target area.
During warmer months when temperatures can reach up to mid-80s Fahrenheit and winds tend to blow lightly from westward directions at around five miles per hour, golfers may experience some extra carry distance due to decreased air density at higher altitudes like those found here in Carlsbad.
Overall, Hole 13 at Aviara Golf Club offers both challenge and beauty as players navigate through its strategic design elements while taking in stunning views of Southern California. With careful planning and execution, golfers can aim to score well on this hole and continue their round with confidence.

3. Plan your approach shot carefully: With no greenside bunkers but two large bunkers positioned behind and to either side of the green, precision is important when approaching this slightly elevated green from about 140 yards out (using a seven iron).
