Hole 13 at Seminole Golf Club
Par 3 • 168 Yards • North Palm Beach, Florida
The 13th hole at Seminole Golf Club presents a deceptively challenging par 3 that epitomizes the course's reputation for precision golf along Florida's coast. At 168 yards, this straight shot demands accuracy over a small green that offers little margin for error. Without significant hazards to distract, the hole's challenge lies in its simplicity—finding the right club and committing to the shot becomes paramount when the target is unforgiving. The coastal winds that sweep across this legendary Donald Ross design can quickly turn a routine mid-iron into a demanding test of distance control. What makes Seminole Golf Club hole 13 memorable is how it strips golf down to its essence: one clean tee shot to a precise target, where only the purest strikes are rewarded.

Strategy Tips
This 168-yard par 3 demands precision over power - focus on club selection that gets you to the pin rather than trying to overpower the hole
Bunkers positioned at 144.5 yards create a significant short-side hazard - ensure your club selection carries well beyond this distance to avoid sand trouble
The generous 5,465 square foot green (33x34 yards) offers multiple pin positions - aim for the center of the green to give yourself the best chance for birdie putts
With no fairway area available, this is a direct tee-to-green shot requiring accurate distance control and proper club selection for the full 168-yard carry
This par 3 is ideal for working on your mid-iron. Launch monitors from $600 let you practice this exact shot with real course data from home.
