Hole #13 at Caves Valley Golf Club is a par 5, measuring 558 yards from the championship tees. It plays slightly downhill and is a slight dogleg left with an approximate fairway width of 38 yards. The green area measures 11055 sq ft and has 3% greenside bunkers surrounding it. This hole can be reached in two shots for longer hitters but requires accuracy off the tee to set up the second shot. With weather conditions varying throughout all four seasons, golfers should make sure to adjust their club selection accordingly as altitude, temperature and wind may affect ball flight conditions on this hole. In warmer months, golfers should expect some roll out on drives due to its downhill nature while colder months will require more carry due to increased air density affecting ball flight distance. A driver of around 217 yards or 7 iron of around 140 yards from our golfer would provide enough length off the tee or approach shot respectively depending on how aggressive one wants to play this hole given its handicap rating of 8.
