Hole 13 at Pinehurst Resort and C.C. (#2) is a challenging par 4 that requires precision and strategy to score well. From the championship tees, this hole measures 380 yards and has a handicap of 6, making it one of the more difficult holes on the course.
The tee shot on this hole will require accuracy as there are six bunkers strategically placed along the fairway, which is only about 31 yards wide. The slight dogleg right also adds an element of difficulty for those who tend to slice their shots. For our average golfer with a driver distance of around 217 yards, it would be wise to aim for the left side of the fairway in order to avoid any potential trouble.
Once safely in play off the tee, golfers will face an approach shot into a green that measures approximately 11055 square feet. While there are only two greenside bunkers on this hole (making up about 8% of total bunker count), they are well-placed near the front right and back left portions of the green, adding another layer of challenge for golfers aiming for birdie or par.
When considering club selection for your approach shot, keep in mind that Pinehurst's location in North Carolina can bring varying weather conditions throughout each season. In warmer months with higher temperatures and humidity levels, expect your ball flight to be affected by denser air which may result in shorter distances than usual. Conversely, colder months with lower temperatures may lead to longer ball flights due to less dense air.
Overall,this par-4 demands accuracy off both tee and approach shots but offers opportunities for good scoring if played smartly based on current weather conditions.

Club Recommendations
1. Accuracy is key on this hole, so focus on hitting a straight shot off the tee rather than trying to hit for distance.
2. Aim for the left side of the fairway to avoid potential trouble from the strategically placed bunkers.
3. Consider using a club with less distance if you struggle with slicing your shots, in order to stay in play and avoid any hazards.
4. Take into account weather conditions when selecting your clubs, as air density can greatly impact ball flight and distance.
5. When approaching the green, aim for the center or left side to avoid being caught by the greenside bunkers on the right.
6. Pay attention to pin placement when deciding where to aim your approach shot, as it may be more advantageous to land on one side of the green over another.
7. If necessary, use an extra club due to potential shorter distances caused by dense air in warmer months or colder temperatures affecting ball flight in cooler months.
8. Don't be too aggressive when going for birdie or par - sometimes playing smartly and aiming for a safe spot on the green can lead to better scoring opportunities overall.
