Hole 13 at Woodholme Country Club
Par 3 • 171 Yards • Pikesville, Maryland
The 18th handicap hole at Woodholme Country Club may be rated as the easiest, but this 171-yard par 3 demands precision over power. With no significant hazards to intimidate, the challenge lies entirely in club selection and execution to the small target green. The straight-forward layout offers no hiding spots for wayward shots, making accuracy paramount from the tee. What appears deceptively simple quickly reveals its true character when golfers realize that finding the putting surface is just the beginning – holding this compact green requires the perfect trajectory and spin. A classic example of strategic minimalism, Hole 13 proves that sometimes the most dangerous holes are those that lull players into overconfidence.

Strategy Tips
Club selection is critical on this 171-yard par 3 - take one extra club to ensure you clear the front bunkers and reach the putting surface confidently
Beware of the bunker complex positioned at 164.4 yards - just 7 yards short of the green, demanding precise distance control to avoid the sand
Target the center of this compact 3,532 square foot green measuring 25x24 yards - the small target rewards accuracy over aggressive pin-hunting
With no fairway landing area available, this is a pure carry shot requiring committed club selection and confident execution to the green
The nearly square green dimensions (25y x 24y) offer consistent depth and width - focus on smooth tempo rather than trying to overpower this manageable distance
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.
