Torrey Pines Golf Club ' North Course ' Hole by Hole - 13th Hole

Hole 13 at Torrey Pines Golf Club's North Course is a challenging 469 yard par 4. It is rated as the fourth most difficult hole on the course with a handicap of four, and it plays slightly longer from the championship tees than from other tee boxes. The fairway has a slight dogleg to the left and measures 32 yards wide, providing plenty of space for an accurate drive. Greenside bunkers make up only 2% of total hazards, so they should not be too much of a concern when approaching this hole. Depending on local weather conditions like altitude, temperature, or wind direction in each season (spring/summer/fall/winter), golfers may need to adjust their club selection off the tee accordingly in order to set up an ideal approach shot into the green which measures 6878 sq ft.. For example if there is more wind in winter months then golfers will want to use less club off the tee for accuracy while using more club during calmer summer months can allow them to take advantage of more distance potential. With an average driver length of 217 yards and 7 iron ~140 yards and pitching wedge ~120 yards for our golfer we would recommend using either a 3 wood or hybrid off the tee followed by either 6 iron or 7 iron depending on how far you hit your shots normally into greens such as these.
