Par 5 • 508 Yards • Franklin, Tennessee

Enhanced Content

Challenging

Vanderbilt Legends Club hole 13 presents a classic risk-reward par 5 that demands both power and precision across its 508 yards. The straight layout may appear straightforward from the tee, but woods lurking near the tee box and a trio of strategically placed greenside bunkers create a deceptive challenge. Players must navigate past the early tree trouble while positioning themselves for a crucial second shot decision. The green complex, guarded by multiple sand hazards and additional woodland areas, rewards aggressive play but severely punishes wayward approaches. This mid-handicap hole epitomizes the strategic design philosophy at this Franklin, Tennessee gem, where course management trumps pure distance. The combination of reachable length and well-positioned hazards makes this hole a true test of golf strategy and execution.
