The 13th is one of the toughest holes on the course, ranked as stroke index four on the scorecard.
Like many other par fours on the course, sand comes into play on the drive with five bunkers ranging from 238 yards to 346 yards from the back tee.
The bunker left at 325 is a good one to aim at with a slight fade.
