Moderate

Bay Hill Club & Lodge hole 13 presents a deceptively strategic par 4 that demands precision over power. This 364-yard test features a straight layout that invites aggressive play, but the small green complex requires careful consideration from the tee. The absence of major hazards might suggest an easy birdie opportunity, yet the compact putting surface punishes wayward approach shots with challenging recovery situations.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

This hole requires precision over power - the fairway completely disappears at the 250-yard mark, making driver a risky play. Consider a 3-wood or long iron to stay in the 12-yard wide fairway at 200 yards.

hazard warning

Bunkers positioned at 237.5 yards create a strategic challenge - they're beyond the safe landing zone but well within driver range. Any tee shot longer than 225 yards risks finding sand.

approach

After a conservative tee shot to 200 yards, you'll face a mid-iron approach of approximately 164 yards to a generous green measuring 22 yards wide by 43 yards deep.

green

The large 5,128 square foot green provides ample target area for approach shots, allowing you to be aggressive with pin hunting once you're safely positioned in the fairway.

tee shot

With no defined landing zone from the tee, course management is critical - aim for the center of the 12-yard wide fairway at 200 yards to set up the best angle for your approach shot.
