Hole 13 at Cypress Point Club

Par 4 • 365 Yards • Pebble Beach, California

Enhanced Content

Moderate

The 13th hole at Cypress Point Club presents a deceptively straightforward par 4 that demands precision over power. At 365 yards, this straight hole appears inviting from the tee, but the small green complex requires a carefully calculated approach shot to find the putting surface. The relatively generous fairway allows players to focus on positioning for the optimal angle into the green, though club selection becomes critical on the approach. Without major hazards to navigate, success hinges on distance control and green reading skills. As the 14th handicap hole, it offers a brief respite in scoring opportunity, yet the compact target demands respect from every golfer fortunate enough to experience this iconic Monterey Peninsula layout.
