Hole 13 at SCGA Member's Club at Rancho California, The is a par 5 that measures 586 yards from the championship tees. It is the eighth most difficult hole on the course with a handicap of 8. This slight dogleg right requires strategic thinking and precise execution to score well.
Off the tee, players should aim for the center of the fairway which measures approximately 40 yards in width. With an average drive of around 217 yards, most golfers will have about 369 yards left to reach the green in regulation. However, be cautious as there is water that runs along the entire left side of this hole.
The approach shot will require careful club selection as there is only one bunker located greenside, making it imperative to avoid hitting into it. For those who can carry their driver around 217 yards off the tee, they may consider laying up with a long iron or hybrid instead of attempting to reach this lengthy green in two shots.
Speaking of length, this green measures a whopping 11085 square feet! That's almost three times larger than an average sized green on tour! But don't let its size fool you - precision and accuracy are still key here because any putt over thirty feet will be extremely challenging due to subtle undulations throughout.
In terms of weather conditions, Murrieta experiences hot summers and mild winters with occasional gusts of wind coming from all directions. At higher altitudes like this course (approximately one mile above sea level), balls tend to fly further so take note when selecting clubs for your approach shot.
Overall, Hole #13 at SCGA Member's Club at Rancho California offers both risk and reward opportunities but requires thoughtful strategy and execution for success. Don't let its low bunker count deceive you - every aspect must be carefully considered before taking your swing on this challenging par-5.
