Par 4393 Yards • Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida

Enhanced Content
Challenging

The longest par 3 at TPC at Sawgrass, hole 13 stands as a formidable test stretching 393 yards from the championship tees. This demanding one-shotter requires golfers to navigate what is essentially a short par 4 distance with the precision of a par 3. The small green complex sits defiantly at the end of a straight line of attack, offering no bailout areas for wayward shots. With its designation as the number one handicap hole, this par 3 separates the accomplished players from the hopefuls. The absence of major hazards might seem forgiving, but the sheer length and small target demand perfect club selection and execution. Few holes in professional golf require such a combination of power and precision from the tee.
