Hole 13 at Philadelphia Cricket Club

Par 4 • 447 Yards • Flourtown, Pennsylvania

Enhanced Content

Tough

The 13th hole at Philadelphia Cricket Club presents a deceptively straightforward par 4 that demands precision over power. At 447 yards, this straight-away challenge appears generous from the tee, but the absence of major hazards makes accuracy paramount to scoring well. The tee shot requires finding the optimal position in the fairway to set up the most favorable approach angle to the small, subtly contoured green. What makes this hole particularly intriguing is how the green's compact size transforms what seems like a routine mid-length par 4 into a test of iron play precision. The approach shot becomes the defining moment, where club selection and pin-point accuracy separate good scores from great ones at this storied Flourtown layout.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

Target a 200-yard tee shot to reach the narrowest part of the fairway at 36 yards wide, leaving a manageable approach while staying well short of the greenside bunkers.

hazard warning

Three greenside bunkers guard the approach between 417-436 yards from the tee - any drive over 250 yards significantly increases bunker risk on your second shot.

approach

From the 200-yard landing zone, you'll face a 247-yard approach to a compact 6,025 square foot green - club up and aim for center to avoid short-siding yourself.

tee shot

Longer hitters can take advantage of the fairway widening to 41 yards at the 250-yard mark, but must execute precisely to avoid the bunker complex ahead.

green

The relatively small green dimensions of 33x30 yards demand accuracy on approach shots - favor the fat part of the green rather than attacking tight pin positions.
