Hole 13 at Onion Creek Club is a challenging par 3 that plays 178 yards from the championship tees and requires an accurate tee shot in order to score well. This hole has a handicap of 16, making it one of the more difficult holes on the course. The green area is 6663 sq ft, with 8% greenside bunkers as a % of total. There are three bunkers surrounding this hole so accuracy off the tee is critical for success.
The weather can affect how you play this hole significantly--in summer months, temperatures may be hot enough to cause air density changes which could impact your ball flight; during winter months, wind gusts may require some extra clubbing or aim adjustments when hitting into the green; and at higher altitudes (like Austin), golf balls will fly farther than normal due to less atmospheric pressure.
For players who hit their driver ~217 yards, 7 iron ~140 yards and pitching wedge ~120 yards: A player should use either a 7-iron or pitching wedge off the tee depending on wind conditions and lie angle preference as both clubs offer good control for this length of shot. For approach shots, select whichever club offers better distance control given current conditions - if there's significant wind gusts then go with a shorter club like 9-iron instead of 8-iron etc... Avoid hitting long shots onto this green as there are plenty of hazards waiting to catch errant shots!
