Welcome to Hole 13 at George W. Dunne National Golf Course, a challenging par 3 that will test your accuracy and strategic thinking. Located in Oak Forest, Illinois with an elevation of approximately 600 feet above sea level, this hole is influenced by the local weather conditions throughout the year.

From the championship tees, this hole measures at 185 yards and has a handicap of 18. The green area spans over 11,800 square feet and features three bunkers strategically placed around it. These greenside bunkers make up about 16% of the total bunker count on this hole.

For your tee shot, we recommend using a driver that averages around 217 yards for optimal placement on the fairway. Keep in mind that during colder seasons such as fall and winter, lower temperatures may affect ball flight distance so you may need to adjust accordingly.

Once you reach your approach shot from approximately 140 yards out (using a seven iron), be mindful of any wind gusts or crosswinds that could impact your ball's trajectory towards the green. During hotter months like summer where temperatures can rise well above average, higher altitudes can also cause balls to fly further than expected.

As you plan for your short game strategy on this hole which has a par of three from all tee boxes including Pro (155 yards), Men's (135 yards) and Women's (115 yards), consider using a pitching wedge which typically yields distances around 120 yards for most golfers.

Overall, Hole #13 at George W. Dunne National Golf Course requires precision off the tee followed by careful club selection for an accurate approach shot onto one of its largest greens on course - making it both challenging yet rewarding if played smartly!
