Hole 13,
Map and Hole Info show two pin positions along the pretty much the same line:
Pin A: 212 ft
Pin B: 273 ft


Don't know if pictured pin is at 212 or 273... looks a bit far for 212', but who knows the focal length it was taken at?

Looks like there might be a slight uphill to the fairway.
I'll take the RHBH hyzer line between the two skinny trees for either pin position.
A - Warship
B - Renegade
 
That's the long position, short tee, and it is slightly uphill. Definitely one of the ACE run holes on the course. I normally throw a turnover Roc on this tee shot.

As with most other holes here, this one has lost several big, mature trees since this course was designed. Many of our more difficult holes have gotten somewhat easier recently due to the drought and insects wiping out 70 year old trees.
 
The big tree in the center of the two smaller trees off of the Tee-box was cut down about 2 weeks ago. The shot is also wide open for a RHFH, LHBH, and a RHBH mid/putter run. It's a reachable over hand shot, but not necessary.

Picture of me throwing said Hyzer shot
