Hole 13 at Wilshire Country Club

Par 3 • 188 Yards • Los Angeles, California

Enhanced Content

Tough

At 188 yards, Wilshire Country Club hole 13 presents a deceptively straightforward par 3 that demands precision over power. This mid-length one-shotter features a small, well-protected green that punishes anything less than a committed approach. The straight-line design eliminates guesswork about direction, placing the entire focus on distance control and trajectory. Without significant hazards cluttering the landscape, golfers might be tempted to attack aggressively, but the compact green complex rewards conservative play to the center. The hole's 16 handicap ranking reflects its accessible nature for most players, yet the small target ensures that even accomplished golfers must execute with care to secure a comfortable birdie opportunity.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 188-yard par 3 demands precise club selection and accurate execution. With no fairway to bail out to, your tee shot must find the green or face difficult recovery shots from surrounding rough or hazards.

hazard warning

Bunkers positioned at 148 yards create a significant challenge, sitting just 40 yards short of the green. Factor in any uphill/downhill lie and wind conditions to ensure you clear these sand traps with proper club selection.

green

The compact 3,698 square foot green measuring 19x31 yards rewards precision over power. Aim for the center of the green rather than attacking pins, as the relatively small target leaves little margin for error.

approach

With zero fairway width at both 200 and 250 yards, there's no safe landing area beyond the green. Commit fully to your yardage and club selection - being short into the bunkers at 148 yards is far better than going long into trouble.
