Thirteen — 352 Yards, Par 4
"The Island"

The 13th is the shortest of the par 4's, measuring 350 yards from the Championship tee. This hole has seen its fair share of excitement in each of the majors at Valhalla. The driving zone of the hole is surrounded by five small bunkers to the left and one large bunker to the right. The green, one the most spectacular on the course, is built up nearly 20 feet on large boulders and is nearly completely surrounded by water. Accuracy with controlled spin is a must for this hole, which will remain unchanged with the exception of slight recontouring of the green.
