The plan for No. 13
The 13th at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club is a 372.0-yard par 4 that plays straightaway.
Off the tee
This short, straight par 4 looks harmless on the scorecard, but Shinnecock Hills' 13th is a classic case of a hole that punishes aggression and rewards discipline. Playing at just 372 yards, the temptation to overpower it is real—but a narrow fairway and a wickedly undulating green demand a controlled, strategic approach off the tee and into the green.
Approach & recovery
Choose a carry target with enough margin for your normal miss, using mapped hazard edges rather than a single yardage guess.
On the green
The green measures roughly 34 yards wide by 22.4 yards deep. Favor the section you can reach reliably and accept a longer putt instead of short-siding the hole.
Watch for
- Fairway bunker crossing the landing zone
- Greenside bunker (greenside)
