Hole 13 at PGA West (TPC Stadium course) is a par 3, 214 yards from the championship tees. It has an intermediate difficulty rating of 10 and provides a great opportunity for golfers to get their round back on track with a birdie or par. The green area is 8506 sq ft, which gives players plenty of room to work with when attacking the pin. There are two greenside bunkers as a percentage of total that come into play, so it’s important to be precise off the tee in order to avoid them. Depending on your club selection, this hole can be played anywhere from 217 yards with driver all the way down to 105 yards for senior women's tees.
Local weather conditions across each season should also be taken into account when strategizing this hole since La Quinta sits at an elevation of approximately 250 feet above sea level and temperatures range between 70-90 degrees Fahrenheit during summer months and 40-60 degrees Fahrenheit during winter months. Altitude affects ball flight distance due to lower air pressure while wind direction can drastically change shot trajectory making club selection critical here – use more lofted clubs if you have headwinds and less lofted clubs if you have tailwinds!

Club Recommendations
1. Take into account the local weather conditions when strategizing for this hole - altitude affects ball flight distance due to lower air pressure while wind direction can drastically change shot trajectory, so use more lofted clubs if you have headwinds and less lofted clubs if you have tailwinds.
2. The green area is 8506 sq ft, which gives players plenty of room to work with when attacking the pin – consider using a club that will provide maximum carry but still land softly on the green in order to avoid any potential hazards such as bunkers or water features.
3. Club selection is key here – choose one that will give you enough distance to reach the pin without going too far past it (e.g., driver may be too much depending on your skill level). Consider using an iron or hybrid club for more precision and accuracy off the tee box.
4. Use practice swings before each shot and take note of how far each swing carries – this will help determine what club should be used based on yardage from tee box to pin flagstick location.
