Hole 13 at Westwoods Golf Club
Par 4 • 376 Yards • Farmington, Connecticut
Westwoods Golf Club hole 13 presents a deceptively challenging par 4 that demands both precision and course management. At 376 yards, this straight hole appears straightforward from the tee, but its small green complex creates the primary strategic consideration. The absence of major hazards allows golfers to focus purely on execution, making club selection and approach angle critical factors. The tee shot offers a generous target, encouraging players to position themselves for the optimal approach distance. However, the compact green rewards accurate iron play and punishes wayward shots with difficult recovery situations. This hole exemplifies how strategic architecture can create challenge through green design rather than penal hazards, making it a true test of precision golf.

With bunkers positioned at 204 yards from the tee, consider laying up with a hybrid or long iron to stay short of trouble while maximizing distance for your approach shot.
The fairway maintains a consistent 12-yard width at both the 200-yard and 250-yard marks, demanding precision off the tee - favor accuracy over distance to stay in the short grass.
From 170-180 yards out (after a conservative tee shot), you'll have a mid-iron approach into this 376-yard par 4 - focus on distance control to find the putting surface.
The green measures 26 yards wide by 36 yards deep, offering a relatively generous target - aim for the center of the green to avoid short-siding yourself.
