Hole 13 at Yellowstone Country Club

Par 3 • 192 Yards • Billings, Montana

Enhanced Content

Tough

Yellowstone Country Club's 13th hole presents a deceptively challenging par 3 that demands precision over power. At 192 yards, this straight shot to a small green requires golfers to commit fully to their club selection, as the compact target offers little margin for error. The absence of major hazards might suggest an easy scoring opportunity, but the diminutive putting surface transforms this into a true test of accuracy and distance control. Players must factor in Billings' elevation and often unpredictable Montana winds when selecting their approach. What makes this hole memorable is its simplicity turned sinister—miss the green, and even the most skilled short game faces a stern test to save par on the tight confines surrounding this well-protected target.
