The plan for No. 13

Respect the right fairway bunkers and make sure the approach reaches the raised target.

Off the tee

Choose a line with room away from the right bunker group. Check where your normal drive stops relative to the sand.

Approach & recovery

The front rise can return an under-hit ball down the approach. Select the landing point on the putting surface, then allow for wind and the uphill shot.

On the green

The raised front is not a safe stopping point. Once aboard, assess whether the putt crosses that same slope before deciding its pace.

Watch for

  • Right fairway bunkers
  • Raised green front
  • Front runoff
