The plan for No. 13
This lengthy par 5 presents a classic three-shot opportunity for most players, but the small green demands precision on your final approach. Smart course management and positioning will be more valuable than raw distance on this straightforward but challenging hole.
Off the tee
The tee shot strategy centers on finding the optimal position for your second shot. With the straight layout and limited hazards, you can be aggressive with your target line down the center of the fairway. Driver is typically the right choice here for most players, as you'll need to cover significant ground to reach this green in regulation. Focus on a smooth, controlled swing that prioritizes finding the fairway - the length will come naturally on this downhill desert hole. Position yourself in the center-left portion of the landing zone to open up the best angle for your layup shot.
Approach & recovery
Your approach strategy depends heavily on your distance from the green after the tee shot. For most players, this becomes a two-shot approach sequence. The second shot should focus on positioning rather than distance - lay up to your favorite wedge yardage, typically between 80-120 yards from the pin. Avoid the temptation to get too aggressive and leave yourself an awkward in-between distance. The final approach into the small green requires precision club selection and committed execution. Target the center of the green regardless of pin position, as the small surface leaves little margin for error.
On the green
The small green at the 13th demands respect with your putting approach. Expect subtle breaks that can be difficult to read, especially with the desert backdrop affecting depth perception. Focus on speed control above all else - a putt that finishes past the hole on this small surface can leave you with a challenging comeback attempt. When the pin is tucked near an edge, aim for the fat part of the green and take your two-putt par. The green's size makes three-putts a real possibility if you're not careful with your first putt's pace.
